Judgment Day

How will governmental blunders of the early twenty-first century transform our lives?. Judgment Day extrapolates today's politics into a fictional near future world where Americans suffer the legacy of today's ill-conceived policies, including a lingering, expanded Middle Eastern war. . Washington power brokers believe that Glenn Markley-a wealthy but politically nave young businessman-can lead the country in a new direction. But the incumbent President draws on powerful allies to block this move. . Markley finds himself politically excised when he becomes the prime suspect in the brutal murder of his lovely young wife. . Pursuing a treacherous but determined quest for the real killer, Markley turns up a shocking connection between his wife's death and a bizarre presidential plot to manipulate a nuclear showdown with Iran for political gain. . From an old-girlfriend-turned-congresswoman with explosive inside information, murder investigators with personal agendas, a secret service agent who might turn against the President, to the disturbing apparitions of his dead wife, Markley can not always tell reality from fantasy or allies from enemies. . Fighting a stark deadline, Markley confronts a grotesque set of conspirators from Washington to Iran and ultimately finds that only his actions can avert a nuclear strike at the heart of America.
