About the book
John Grisham meets Yellowstone in a gripping political thriller by Wall Street Journal bestselling author Robert Bailey, as one man fights for family against a government with a shattering secret.
The news of the President of the United States having terminal cancer is known by only a few, including Chief of Staff Eli James, his loyal advisor and closest friend. However, just when the president's health miraculously begins to improve, Eli is faced with a personal tragedy - his own daughter is diagnosed with cancer.
Determined to find a cure for his daughter, Eli reaches out to the top lobbyist of Big Pharma for guidance. Their meeting raises more questions than answers as Eli delves deeper into a complex web of deceit. He uncovers a massive cover-up involving billions of dollars and the lives of millions.
Armed with this dangerous knowledge, Eli decides to take matters into his own hands. He escapes with his family to the west, seeking refuge and forming a risky alliance with ruthless land baron Nester 'the Beast' Sanchez. A dramatic showdown looms on the horizon, as the state clashes with a desperate citizen willing to sacrifice everything for his child's survival.
Will Eli be able to negotiate peace with former allies? Or will the desert become a battleground for a war of monumental proportions?
