A GOOD DEATH BY ROBERT STOKES J.C. Dance, an ex-Navy SEAL and
bounty hunter gets a call from a former boss that sends him on a
dangerous and circuitous investigation that reaches into the heart
of the White House and the administration of conservative President
Franklin Todd who is campaigning for re-election a few months
hence. But his National Security advisor Pope McIntyre has a more
radical plan for the President's re-election. In his investigation,
Dance discovers that a suicide of Preston Gage, a pre-eminent Asia
scholar and close friend of the President is linked to a closely
held secret and cover-up at the highest level of the Todd
Administration. But the deeper plot is created by McIntyre.
Unbeknownst to the President, McIntyre has negotiated with a
Japanese terrorist to plant a dirty bomb in Madison Square Garden
at the Republican National Convention. The bomb will kill thousands
of delegates and give President Todd the authority to suspend the
Constitution and push through a series of right wing policies that
will guarantee his re-election and give him the power to destroy
his Democratic rival for the presidency. Dance is also trying to be
reunited with his estranged wife who becomes a target along with
their daughter from hit men hired by McIntyre to eliminate the nosy
investigator and his family. In a dramatic climax, Dance tracks the
Japanese terrorist, Shigenobu, and his bomb from Tokyo to L.A.,
Reno, Nevada and finally to New York. The dirty bomb is set to go
off during President Todd's speech. Shigenobu's own motive for
planting the bomb is to avenge the killing of his family when the
atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki. * * * * * Robert Stokes -
