Take a base of Don Pendleton, stir in some George Orwell, and sprinkle with a dash of Upton Sinclair. It's a post-pandemic slightly dystopian era in the very near future, as Bruce Highland is called in to investigate the threat of a series of state level political assassinations. He struggles with conflicting personal convictions as he sorts through a tangled web of deception, corruption and conspiracy, in a race against time to discover and unfoil the plot.
