RUBICON HarperCollins, May 2008 Genre: General Fiction Agent: Dan Mandel Foreign Sales |
| Writing as Lawrence Alexander, D.W. Buffa brings us the tale of Bobby Hart, senator from California, declining a presidential run in hopes of escaping the political spotlight. But while in Germany, the idealistic young politician discovers terrifying evidence of a conspiracy to destroy democracy in America—an unthinkable plot codenamed Rubicon.
Someone important is going to die, though Hart doesn’t know who, or why, or when. Only two things are clear: it will happen some time before the upcoming election—and once it does, like Caesar’s army crossing the fabled river on their relentless march toward Rome, there will be no turning back. Caught in a desperate race against death and time, Bobby Hart must now expose an insidious nightmare that threatens every man, woman, and child in America. Because Rubicon is not about stealing a presidential election—it is about stealing a country. |
