Book description
A hot summer day in New York City gives Conor O'Neil no warning of the
nightmare which is about to engulf him. After witnessing a fatal
robbery, Conor is wrongfully arrested for the crime by a bent cop and
immediately goes on the run, fearing for his life. He discovers that an
eerie pair of stage hypnotists, a fervent Southern Baptist, and a very
sinister televangelist are involved in the heist, the proceeds of which
are to fund something unthinkable yet all too possible.
Conor's desperate need to clear his name takes him on a terrifying trip
to a distant and hostile land, where he must use all of his remaining
strength to survive the most deadly weapon of all... Graham Masterton
