The United States in crisis - In the face of increasing terrorist attacks on his own soil, the president of the United States declares martial law and sits for a third term. His country simmers in suspicion and fear. In Chicago, Jason Walker, half Lebanese but thoroughly American, is detained, interrogated and tortured. In exchange for his freedom, he must turn spy for Homeland Security, but it soon becomes impossible to tell who are the good guys . . .
Keir Graff believes the world is more easily understood through fiction. He sets international politics on a local stage, where characters who look a lot like us are forced to confront the most challenging issues of the day - often while racing a ticking clock. The author of three books under his own name (and one as Michael McCulloch), he has written widely, on topics ranging from books and publishing to billiards and cocktails. To learn more, please visit
