Saving Faith

Description :

Forces of darkness, forces of light ... Danny Buchanan is a top Washington lobbyist who once earned a vast fortune serving the interests of giant corporations. Then, appalled by the desperate poverty he witnessed on his global travels, he decided to use his political genius and boundless energy to help the world's poor. If this meant bending the rules a bit, so what? That was what he'd done for years - and at least he's now doing it for a good cause. With the loyal aid of his assistant, the attractive and committed Faith Lockhart, Danny works tirelessly and in secret to establish a network of politicians who can be relied upon to vote the right way on matters concerning international aid. Robert Thornhill has rather different ideas of public service. A ruthless top-ranking veteran of clandestine government activity, he bitterly resents the funding cutback and the erosion of the CIA's status and influence that the end of the Cold War has meant. When he discovers the secret of Danny's political influence, he decides to blackmail him into exerting it for the Agency's own dark ends. The scene is set for an explosive clash between the CIA and FBI - with Faith Lockhart caught in the crossfire as she flees from the murderous attentions of Thornhill's faction. As the lethal danger increases, so does the level of unbearable tension in this superbly compelling reading experience.
