Home Author Archive For Librarians Authors: Get Included Rich Lowry & Keith Korman Dear Reader, Imagine a couple of bookish guys . . . One runs a famous magazine, the other a literary agent who writes the occasional novel. In a fit of madness they suddenly decide to tempt fate by writing a political thriller. Is this the "beginning of a beautiful friendship" or The Wreck of the Mary Deare? Well, the lure of using a spy novel to pose the hard questions of executive action in a dangerous world and lampoon our clownish media proved irresistible. Take a middle-aged Manhattan intellectual, Peter Johnson. Train him under the hand of an all-but-forgotten spy master – Banquo – his professional tough-guy soldier, Wallets – and their expert survivalist with the unlikely name of Marjorie Morningstar for a simple plan. Assassinate an Iranian nuclear scientist in the heart of Iran. Save millions of lives for the price of one. Naturally everything that can go wrong does. But an ounce of courage can change a man's luck: Johnson escapes to Iraq over the mountains trailing a caravan of dirty bomb laden mules. Only back in New York, it's not just a gang of expendable spies at risk – but an entire city. And it falls to that old mongoose Banquo and his team to decapitate a poised cobra before it strikes. -Rich Lowry & Keith Korman www.banquosghosts.com TOP OF PAGE BACK TO MAIN PAGE © 2005 by AuthorBuzz
