The Assembly
When Peter Hoffman is
discovered murdered, there is no shortage of suspects. Any number of
powerful organizations – the CIA, the IRA, Satanists, various oilmen, a
band of covert Nazis – had an interest in seeing him dead. For Hoffman
was one of the world’s most powerful men, as reviled and feared by other
powerful men as he was loved and admired by ordinary people. His power
flowed from his position as chairman of The Assembly, a global Internet
community dedicated to changing the status quo that had benefited too
few for too long.
It falls to Hoffman’s deputy, Sinclair Morton, to
discover who among the many people with motive to kill his boss had
actually done so. The trail is long and convoluted, and leads in turn
from London to Hamburg to Boston, and finally, to Positano. Will
Sinclair Morton live long enough to learn the surprising truth about
Peter Hoffman’s death, and will that knowledge bring about that which
Hoffman had most feared, the destruction of The Assembly?
