Publisher Description
The morning of 9/11 Brenda Grant and Daniel Henderson met for coffee before going to their software firm in the World Trade Center. That casual act saved them from the Twin Towers' collapse, even as their friends and Brenda's fiancé were killed and their company obliterated.
Founding their own software security firm, they never forgot that morning of horror. Grant and Henderson then establish a clandestine division inside their company committed to covertly tracking down global terrorists. In a search involving Washington DC, Egypt, Italy and Turkey, they expose a plot to hijack a US presidential election, rig voting machines, and topple democracies worldwide.
Foolproof is a global thriller in the tradition of Tess Gerritson, Catherine Coulter, and Linda Howard.
At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Mystery authors D'Amato, Dams and Zubro try their hand at a thriller with less than stellar results. After 9/11, Brenda Grant and Daniel Henderson, who worked in the World Trade Center's north tower but were in a nearby coffee shop when the first plane hit, start a security company secretly dedicated to stopping future terror attacks. Shortly before the 2008 presidential election (which bears no resemblance to the battle between Obama and McCain), an assailant kills Sarah Swettenham, a 32-year-old computer engineer Grant knew at college, by pushing her into Manhattan traffic. The day before, Swettenham had made an appointment to meet Grant. When the victim's personal computers disappear, Grant gets really suspicious. Cartoonish characters, including a U.S. president who watches football on TV "all day on Saturdays and all day on Sundays," don't help the over-the-top plot, which builds to a dramatic denouement likely to elicit some unintended titters.
Customer Reviews
Foolproof
Great book! Fast paced mystery /spy/ terrorist story with election fraud thrown in for good measure. Hard to put down. The action sequences were terrific and the descriptions of the locations made you want to travel to them. Yes, even to Gallipoli with my waltzing Matilda.
