UNANNOUNCED is a medical thriller reminding readers that terrorist
attacks do not require crumbling towers. They can be small and
cumulative, chipping away bit by bit at Western culture until,
finally, they threaten the very essence of life as we know it. Dr.
Jonathan Harding is a liberal-thinking physician and a hospital
surveyor who works with The Joint Commission, nationwide manager of
hospital accreditation. He loathes the methods used by federal law
enforcement agents to gather intelligence. In early 2005
Arab-Americans posing as Joint Commission surveyors attempt to
conduct several unanounced hospital surveys and The Joint
Commission assigns Dr. Harding to investigate. Jonathan discovers a
link to Islam and fears terrorism. Reluctantly, he recruits FBI
Special Agent Peter Larsen to help him unravel the mysterious
events. The two explore hospitals and mosques in three cities in an
effort to get to the bottom of the scheme which, they learn, was
contrived by Islamic jihadists who hope to infiltrate American
hsopitals and gain a toehold in their battle to undermine Western
culture. Jonathan and Peter discover the surveyor-imposters were
coached by imams who have subsequently fled to Pakistan. Working
with pragmatic, easy-going Peter completely reverses Jonathan's
opinion of federal agents and their methods. A surprise ending
reveals a new kind of grassroots attack devised by the jihadists
from their base in the caves of Afghanistan.
