Frederick Forsyth, master of the international thriller, returns with the electrifying story of a man of immense power and a conspiracy to crush the president of the United States. Only one man, Forsyth's most unforgettable hero yet, can prevent the plan from succeeding. His name is Quinn. He is the Negotiator. President Cormack is bent on singing a sweeping U.S Soviet disarmament treaty, and the master conspirator is determined to stop him. The kidnapping of a young man on a country road in Oxfordshire is but the first brutal step in the explosive plot to engineer the president destruction. Enter Quinn. Quinn plays the kidnappers like a master musician...until, in a shocking turnabout, he discovers that ransom was not their objective after all, and that he has been lured into a cunningly woven web. Now he must draw upon his deepest strengths to save not only the victim but the entire free world. 'Forsyth gives us all we ark for' -Chicago Tribune-
