Product Overview
It is the year 2000, and political parties in the U.S. are gearing up for the most important election in a quarter of a century. Senator Cyrus, a right-wing politician, is making a bid for the presidency, and he stands a good chance of winning. When a popular newman is gruesomely murdered at the Kentucky Derby, Senate aide John Scott suspects that the death may be connected to other recent terrorist attacks within the U.S.--and possibly to Cyrus's campaign. Determined to prove his theories, John enlists the help of Assistant District Attorney Kate Taulbee. Kate, a fiery lawyer with her own agenda, questions John's theories, but is determined to use the case to advance her own career. Together they begin to untangle a web of political ties between the Derby murder and an international plot to take over the White House and exploit the nation's natural resources. The investigation leads John and Kate from Kentucky to Montana to Paris to Washington, D.C.--and ultimately into the arms of each other.
