The Q Conspiracy

Intrigue . . . . Murder . . . . Betrayal

A Pulitzer Prize is the only major award Jonathon Stone has never won. And now that he's left investigative journalism to write nice little articles for magazines, it seems he never will. But the embers still smolder, and when Leo Zimmer crashes head on into his life with a ragged tale of blackmail aimed at the highest echelons of government and diplomacy, the seed for the Pulitzer once again germinates and grows, and Stone is drawn deeper and deeper into a conspiracy that could send shock waves throughout the Western world and spread glee throughout Islam.
Zimmer and his mysterious friend Max-two small-time extortionists-have discovered correspondence between a revered US senator and a high level Israeli diplomat that conceives a conspiracy so abominable it could forever destroy the bonds between their two countries. Using the threat of exposure, Zimmer and Max blackmail the senator and diplomat, leveraging them against a wealthy Arab tyrant. But when the plan goes awry, and the only lead to the letters is Max whose whereabouts is unknown, the race is on to find him and the damning missives.
The stakes are high for the senator whose stellar reputation and political aspirations will be destroyed; for the tiny country of Israel that could end up a lone sheep amongst a pack of wolves; and for a diminished Arab leader who could regain eminence and drastically alter the balance of power in the Middle East.
But for Jonathon Stone, the exposé of the conspiracy could be his ticket to the coveted Pulitzer Prizeand it could cost him his life.
