Rise of the Crescent Moon — Jerome J. Foody

In Rise of the Crescent Moon, CIA Special Operative Jeremiah Flynn is on a mind-cleansing vacation in the Alaskan wilderness following the brake-up of a long love affair with the beautiful Vice President, when he discovers an international cabal called the 'Elite'. These powerful world leaders are headed by a ruthless North Korean, determined to stop at nothing to achieve their malevolent goal, including kidnapping, assassination and the threat of nuclear war. With a million dollar contract on his head, the resourceful Agent Flynn must dodge global detection when mysteriously placed on the Agency's 'Burn List' as a terrorist, rogue agent accused in the assassination of the American President. Flynn is forced out into the open after learning his close friend has been kidnapped and framed by the 'Elite' for the murder of the British Prime Minister. Flynn must go it alone while he tries to prove their innocence and expose the 'Elite's' diabolical scheme to America's first woman President. In Rise of the Crescent Moon, as the world teeters on the brink of nuclear war, Agent Flynn unravels the secret of the 'Elite's' worldwide conspiracy. However, struggling throughout his quest to destroy 'Tiger' and the 'Elite', and lay open their treachery to President Patricia Bunnell, Flynn is continually thwarted by her Chief of Staff to the very surprising, suspenseful, thrilling and explosive conclusion.
