The Blackstone Conspiracy

A sickening act of terrorism in the streets of Paris and the assassination of a politician appear at first to be unrelated. Charged with finding out who is behind the attack, the emotionally fragile Commander Pauline Rougier of the Counter Terrorist Brigade discovers that the two incidents may not be so far removed, as a looming civil war threatens to catapult the country into chaos. Meanwhile, troubled yet charming New York Times journalist Jack Campbell and his friend, computer genius Thomas Delvaux, have uncovered an international conspiracy could reshape the global balance of power. Middle eastern oil money, shady Swiss banks and hyper-advanced artificial intelligence, Jack and his connections are led to Paris as they try to find out who, or what, is behind it all. Will Jack and Pauline be able to combine their talents and put a stop to the wheels of doom before they are set in motion? Will these two tortured souls be able to put their own feelings to one side as they work to protect the global status quo?
