The Saudi connection

After having to hand back his Pulitzer Prize due to a massive scandal, Ron Wright's reputation as a journalist with the Washington Post crashed and burned, taking his marriage with it. After receiving a cryptic message from an old friend, Ron takes the first train from Washington to New York City--and quickly finds himself in a deadly chase after a friend and long-trusted news source ends up dead in Paris. Wright, thrust into the lead of a lifetime, must connect this bizarre turn of events to unlock one of the most covered-up secrets of the modern era: Saudi Arabian royalty has long provided funding for a powerful group in America--funds that have been accumulating to launch a vicious attack on American soil. Beginning in France and stretching across the Middle East, Wright must enlist the help of a beautiful journalist from Al-Jazeera to uncover the story of the century.--From publisher description.
