Compromised

Two rogue computer hackers employed by the CIA have stolen four hundred million dollars from the Taliban. When President Joshua Bartlett learns of the theft, he has the hackers give him half of the cash but then arranges to have them killed so that he can keep the balance for himself.

By steadfastly refusing to return the money to the Taliban, Bartlett has incurred its wrath. To force the president to return the money, Taliban fighters acting in concert with a powerful Mexican drug cartel, wage a jihad along the southern border.

In a shocking act of deception, the president withdraws four hundred million dollars from the Treasury under the pretense that it will be returned to the Taliban, but instead, keeps the money for himself. While Congress prepares to impeach Bartlett for withdrawing the money without congressional authorization, the IRS in a creative application of the tax laws, has proposed to assess a tax liability on the money in a civil tax case that will pave the way for an impeachment trial and eventual criminal case of far sweeping implications.

In an explosive political thriller filled with ironic twists and turns, the author will take the reader through a tale of greed, power and betrayal at the highest levels of government.
