Duplicity — Newt Gingrich; Pete Earley

THE GREATEST NIGHTMARE FOR THE FREE WORLD TODAY WOULD BE A MASTER TERRORIST HIDING somewhere, controlling and coordinating radical Islamic groups at the highest level around the globe.

In DUPLICITY, such an invisible hand overseeing havoc worldwide plays a major role in this ripped-from-the-headlines thriller.

And of course, it's set during an American presidential election.

When President Sally Allworth decides to reestablish America's Mogadishu embassy in Somalia weeks before Election Day, her challenger says she is playing politics with American lives. That turns out to be true when the embassy is attacked and hostages are taken. Embassy station chief Gunter Connor and Marine Capt. Brooke Grant end up the unlikely survivors of this Benghazi-style attack. Suddenly, they are the only hope for saving their captured colleagues.

Only Newt Gingrich's unique in-depth knowledge of the political realities of friend and foe could weave such a spellbinding tale of events and personalities, one that could actually happen ... if America's leaders aren't wary of a world full of DUPLICITY.
