Jacob Sellars, a New York City newspaper reporter, is assigned to
cover the memorial services for oil tycoon Joshua Crane, whose
corporation has an ambiguous history and suspicious ties to U.S.
intelligence agencies. Sellars, who is trying to come to grips with
his own troubled past, seizes the chance to write a freelance
article about the Crane family, one of New England's most
venerated.
In the process, Sellars develops an obsessive romance with
Crane's granddaughter, a strident critic of the current
administration's foreign policy in the Middle East. His
investigations uncover the fact that Crane's company is being used
as a front by the U.S. government for nefarious activities in
oil-producing countries. Despite efforts to silence him, Sellars
intends to publish a blockbuster story revealing the scheme. But he
must first survive a beating by thuggish mercenaries, two
horrifying terrorist attacks, and his own inner turmoil. Sellars's
determination will be the deciding factor in whether he will escape
with his life-and his heart-intact.
A masterful mix of high-level corruption, personal conflict,
love and loss, "The Patriarch" is a vivid portrayal of the world
for one American in the decade after the infamous terrorist attacks
on September 11, 2001.
