Big Empty

A gritty lawyer uncovers an ancient conspiracy and the betrayal of a man and a nation. In an ethereal thriller of treachery, trust and redemption. . . . Every instinct I had told me to get out but I couldn't. I snaked through the city bureaucracy, historical landmarks and some of the most prominent properties in New York, all intricately linked. Nothing fit, yet everything connected and answers only bred more questions. And somehow it had all been mysteriously tied back to me. The ten years had slipped by like a century. This was just what I needed-a simple case with a big payday. But it didn't stay simple for long and what I uncovered would unnerve the city, maybe the world. I was about to open doors that had been nailed shut for a lifetime. I was about to cross thresholds that I swore I never would. And the only path to the truth was through a labyrinth of deceit. I trusted no one, not even myself. My stomach tightened. I ventured into the darkest tunnel of all, my own. I realized then why I was chosen-why I had been the only one that could find this mysterious document. Deep within a maze of deceptions and betrayals, I uncovered a massive conspiracy among the most esteemed organizations in the world-and the truth that had sent my life into a tailspin ten years ago was far from true. This seemingly routine assignment suddenly had enormous stakes and consequences. Now it was up to me to mend an ancient injustice and the fate of an entire culture.
