The Old Weatherman dreams of a plan that could be his swan song,
an attack to drive a stake through the heart of the right-wing
establishment and bury it for good. Now he's found the money, the
ideal weapon, and the professional who knows how to use it. And he
has set his sights on the perfect target at the very seat of the
United States government, in the heart of downtown Washington. It
will be a strike heard round the world.
San Diego defense attorney Paul Madriani is still reeling from
the trauma of a near nuclear explosion he helped avert at the naval
base in Coronado. Threatened by federal authorities to keep quiet
about the close call in California, Madriani is now faced with a
new problem in the steely-eyed and alluring Joselyn Cole, a weapons
control expert, who believes he has to go public with what he knows
if they have any hope of stopping a similar event in the
future.
But Madriani has been linked to the murder of a Washington,
D.C., political staffer, and authorities believe a shadowy figure
called Liquida--a hired assassin known as "the Mexicutioner"--may
be responsible. And this man, as the last survivor of the attack in
San Diego, might be driven by a bizarre and horrifying star-crossed
vendetta, and might now be looking for Madriani himself. What
Madriani and Cole begin to fear is that the Old Weatherman and this
madman have joined forces and intend to pull the city--and the
country--into a vortex of terror before Madriani and Cole can find
answers to the enigma that is "the rule of nine."
