Amazon.com description: Product Description: Durante quinientos años, una orden secreta, despótica y cruel, formada por los hombres y mujeres más poderosos del mundo, ha custodiado un manuscrito cuya autoría se atribuye a Maquiavelo: La Conspiración. En éste, se dan las pautas que deben seguir las elites para conservar su poder y riqueza, y se aconseja cometer un asesinato ritual que garantice la complicidad y el secreto entre los miembros. Nicholas Marten, ex policía, se traslada desde Inglaterra a Washington para pasar junto a Caroline, su antiguo amor, las últimas horas que a ésta le quedan de vida. Ella sospecha que la enfermedad que la ésta matando no es una casualidad y tiene que ver con los secretos que había descubierto su marido congresista, muerto también en extrañas circunstancias. Mientras, en Europa, John Henry Harris, presidente de Estados Unidos, descubre que los miembrois más próximos de su gabinete han formado un complot para acabar con los dirigentes de Francia y Alemania e iniciar una atroz escalada de violencia en Oriente Medio. / Nicholas Marten, the ex-LAPD detective who played a major role in Folsom's The Exile (2004), pursues an international conspiracy in this frenetic page-turner long on action but short on plausibility. When an old love of Marten's, Caroline Parsons, dies of a mysterious infection shortly after her congressman husband and son perish in a plane accident, her dying words set Marten on the trail of a South African bioterrorist. The former cop soon finds himself allied with another man trying to foil a cabal bent on creating a new world orderthe U.S. president himself, John Henry Harris. Harris flees his Secret Service protection after rejecting the plan of virtually his whole cabinet to assassinate the leaders of France and Germany and replace them with people willing to launch biological warfare on most of the Middle East. Unconvincing hairbreadth escapes and the failure to explore underlying political issues make for a routine thriller.
