The Inner
Sanctum
The branch chief of Baltimore's Office of Internal Revenue
investigates tax returns for Senate candidate Eldridge Coleman A week later the chief is
dead, but his assistant, an ambitious Revenue lawyer called Jesse Hayes picks up the trail
of evidence and becomes the target of a professional hitman These are the first clues to
the existence of the Inner Sanctum - a breakaway group of extremists, dedicated to buying
power.
Dave Mitchell is a hotshot young broker at Sagamore
Investment, a phenomenally successful operation turning over 200 billion dollars a year.
When one of David's gold-plated futures hits trouble and threatens to ruin his career, he
starts to look at Sagamore's investment history - and the blood turns to ice in his veins.
Not a single company investment has ever turned a loss. Yet the records show that he owes
the Mob $2 million.
Close by, yet a world of influence away, Jesse feels she owes
it to her dead boss to continue to investigate Eldridge Coleman's financial affairs. Yet
it becomes quickly apparent that in doing so she is discovering far more than she should
and putting her life in severe danger.
Both Jesse and David become trapped. They are up against a
powerful coalition with influence reaching from the darkest corners of the Pentagon to the
brightest boardrooms of the financial sector. They are a shadowy and secretive
organisation pushing for a new Republican seat, and with it control of the Defence
Department's 300 billion dollar a year budget That sort of money can buy a lot of friends.
That sort of money allows you to do whatever you want. In a desperate race for survival,
neither David or Jesse are prepared to yield their secrets - or their hearts. But the
Sanctum is too powerful to tackle alone.
The Inner Sanctum is the brilliant new thriller from Stephen
Frey. A terrifyingly realistic story of high level politics and billion dollar corruption
- and the evil within the system that every administration dreads.
