Representative Ben Safford thought he was helping a young Air Force flyer accused of pilot error in a mysterious crash. Until the hotheaded pilot rejected Ben's help; until Ben discovered the body of a murdered officer; until he was almost killed by a bomb in the Capitol. Ben had always known that politics makes strange bedfellows, but never in his wildest nightmares did he expect to uncover a menage that included Congress, the Pentagon, the Saudi Arabian Embassy, the United Nations, the Air Force and the nation's'largest aircraft manufacturer.
