description:  John Wells goes undercover in Saudi Arabia in a cutting-edge novel of modern suspense from the #1 New York Times-bestselling author.John Wells may have left the CIA but it hasn't left him. A mysterious call brings a surprise meeting with the aged monarch of Saudi Arabia King Abdullah. My kingdom is on a precipice he tells Wells. Powerful factions are plotting against me and my own family is in danger. I don't know who I can trust but I'm told I can trust you.Reluctantly and with the secret blessing of the CIA Wells goes undercover; but the more he learns the more complicated things become and soon he too is unsure whom to trust in Saudi Arabia or Washington. One thing however is clear: If the conspirators prevail it will mean more than the fall of a monarch-it may be the beginning of the final conflagration between America and Islam.
