Rock, Paper, Scissors: A Novel of Political Intrigue

Three-year-old Sarah Peterson was the only witness to the brutal murder of her father, a CIA agent who was shot at point-blank range in a deserted schoolyard near his Virginia home. Thirty-five years later, that little girl has become a high-level agent for the Secret Service — so tough and accomplished that she is tapped by the President for the plum job of head of security for Jack Montgomery, the Secretary of State. When Sarah tapes the proceedings of a clandestine meeting involving her new boss and two businessmen with extensive — and questionable — ties to the Middle East, she accidentally uncovers their plot to kidnap the daughter of one of the world's wealthiest men. But why? The answer involves a plan to assassinate a Middle East despot, rogue agents, a $50 million ransom, and wrongdoing at the highest levels of government. It may also hold the key to the truth behind the death of Sarah's father.
