About the Book

A United States Ambassador and a former KGB Colonel are found murdered in a section of the Paris catacombs known as the Empire de Morte. (The Empire of the Dead.) In the hours and days that follow, an international crisis of monumental proportions takes shape in the corridors of power beyond the public view.

The Russian Mafia, in possession of a Soviet secret weapon known as Dark Glass, will soon threaten the West in a bizarre plot to breathe life back into the old Soviet Union.

CIA counter-terrorism officer Ben Fitzgerald finds himself in a race against time and an opponent who uses the mystic powers of a psychic-savant capable of defeating the most sophisticated technology we have to offer.

From the deserts of Arizona to MI-6 in London, from the Kremlin in Moscow to the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, the danger grows and the death toll mounts, as Fitzgerald searches for Dark Glass. The clock is ticking and he must find a way to stop the madness before the Russian Mafia discovers an even greater secret that could destroy the entire world.
