an excerpt of DEVIL'S
GAMBIT - DEVIL'S DUE |
When Megan Aguila's brilliant but emotionally erratic
husband, Nick, is released from prison for a crime he
didn't commit, it seemed as if all their troubles were
over. But then Nick was kidnapped and held for a staggering
ransom. It was fortunate that like most of the employees
in Northern California's tech-rich Silicon Valley, he
was insured by his employer against extortion, so it fell
to his boss, the charming and charismatic billionaire,
Dallas Burton Hale, whose legions of enemies hide in the
shadows, to cough up the payoff. Was money at the root
of the kidnapping scheme, or vengeance? And was it directed
at Nick, or Hale?
With so much on the line, Hale went right to the top for
help — to James Scott Stuart, Special Agent in Charge
of the San Francisco field office of the FBI. Since Stuart
was about to be named the new US Attorney General, it
was to his advantage to wrap up a crime that had all the
makings of a media circus, so he could sail into his cabinet
post in triumph. Why then, did he assign agents to oversee
it who were all burned-out has-been's and never-were's?
Did Stuart have a secret agenda of his own that overrode
even his own success?
When the FBI botches the ransom drop, the kidnapper claims
another hostage — Megan's teenage daughter, Andi,
whose tough-girl athletics and fresh vulnerability has
pierced the married Hale's heart, ratcheting up the tension
higher still.
Ultimately, it falls to the most disenfranchised among
the law enforcement officials to pierce through the perplexing
twists and turns: on-the-ropes local cop, Paul Gray, the
man who first sent Nick to prison and who is still in
love with Nick's wife, and brand new Special Agent Elena
Rios, whose every move seems to put her in deeper trouble
with the Bureau higher-ups. But even they are not prepared
for the stunning truths they ultimately uncover.
With technology that's as real as tomorrow, which promises
to change the map of medicine, potentially saving millions
of lives, and building an unimaginable fortune for the
one who controls it, and its fast-paced, high-concept
plot, the high stakes game in Devil’s Gambit –
Devil’s Due also proves that two wrongs really can
make a right. |
