A novel by

 
 
Five bombs upend the foundation of the American government.

Sturka is an artist with explosives. A sturdy man approaching middle age, he learned his trade on the darkest battlefields of the 20th century: Indochina, Palestine, Guyana, Biafra, and the fetid jungles of South America, where he fought alongside Che Guevera but was quick enough not to die with him. He doesn't know where his new employers hail from; he only knows how well they pay. Today he packs plastic explosives into the false bottoms of three handbags and two suitcases, to be left at strategic locations around Washington, D. C.

But this is no ordinary caf bombing. Today Sturka targets the men at the top of the American government. The attack causes a crisis of succession, the likes of which America has never seen. If the right man doesn't take charge quickly, the country will tear itself apart.
