Cornelius Quinn has served his time in Walla Walla penitentiary. He had hit rock bottom: bankrupt, hated, alone. But his stay in prison and the people he met there would change him and his life forever. Quinn had tried the honest, corporate business, bullshit path and failed; now he intended to become a high value career criminal.
Equipped with a rare talent of seducing and manipulating the human mind, he pursues his only interest left: to steal obscene amounts of money by exploiting powerful people's weaknesses.
Amongst his carefully chosen victims are an aspiring priest, too handsome for celibacy, an obsessive Mossad agent on a power trip, and a Mexican drug lord.
But his meticulous plans become threatened by a very powerful opponent who is also deeply involved in an imminent terrorist attack on American soil.
Can he, for the first time in his life, manage to finish what he has started? And who is the mysterious killer appearing in a burqa called Alpha?
