A top secret FBI file is missing. Code named "Prodigy", the file was the genius of J. Edgar Hoover, who created it to use against his potential enemies - which included everyone in Washington from JFK to this year's presidential candidate, Jack Hallorin. The unlucky grad student who uncovered it is dead, and now his girlfriend is on the run, accused of murder. Mark Beamon - the only man everyone agrees can find the young woman and the explosive document - has been suspended by the FBI and is fighting a legal battle to keep himself out of jail. He knows better than anyone that this case is his last shot to save his career - and his country. Tracking her down will be the most demanding case Beamon's ever faced, for the young woman is a world-class rock-climber who can drop out of sight anywhere in the world. But even if he does find her and the file, who can he trust when the FBI itself is under suspicion? --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
