The Castlereagh Connection Melvin C. Hathorn

John Michaels is angry. Years of hard work destroyed in an hour. His review committee falsely discredits his doctoral research. Michaels meets Janet Conway, also fired because she crosses a powerful government official. The two discover their problems are related. They stem from the Directorate, a cabal heavily invested in world globalization. ?Why does the Directorate care about his minor historical research, and why do they plot Janet?s firing?? he wonders. Michaels investigates. He uncovers the theft of chemical weapons from a US army base. When the Directorate learns that Michaels and Janet have discovered the theft, they pursue them to England. There, Michaels and Janet make friends with a retired, disillusioned Anglican Bishop, George Lancshire. The three unveil a conspiracy called Jericho. They also learn of the existence of the Société, who hold ancient manuscripts that can expose the Directorate. Michaels, falsely accused of murder, is pursued across southern France by Interpol, the Société, and the Directorate. He must locate evidence that will prove his story and stop Jericho.
