The Bancroft strategy

When Todd Belknap, an experienced special agent at KoMO, infiltrates the headquarters of the extensive Ansari network involved in the illegal arms trade in Rome, he has no idea that his life without excitement will become even more dangerous. The superiors of the Senate Committee of Inquiry, lurking around KoMO's neck, are turning against it for failing businesses. His companion and best friend are abducted in Beirut. Belknap can't rest. Without any official authorization, he tries to trace the threads to save the other half, Jared Rinehart. But the few available clues are being wiped out by a disembodied, more threatening power than ever before, under the pseudonym Genesis. Witnesses disappear in a row, mysterious deaths follow one another. The shape of a large-scale, worldwide conspiracy begins to unfold from obscurity. But who can stand behind the screen, who moves the figures, who can be this genius and cruel, elusive puppet master? Slowly everything Belknap believed in collapses around him. It is impossible to find out who is a friend and who is an enemy. A whole web of lies is woven around where you can’t trust anything and anyone. Only a new relationship in its infancy holds the soul in it, and the desire to prevent the real escape of the insane evil meant by Genesis in the world.
