FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Los Angeles, March 2nd, 2010.
Peter Thomas Senese, writing under Peter Thomas, will release on June 1st, 2010 the mass market paperback publication of his praise-worthy novel on global terrorism and the financial markets titled THE DEN OF THE ASSASSIN: A Novel Of International Finance and Espionage.
THE DEN OF THE ASSASSIN was initially released in hardcover right before the author was chasing the cyclones known as international parental child abduction - and began a long and treacherous journey to reunite with his child. Now, after successfully accomplishing what every Chasing Parent hopes for: the legal reunification of their child, the author will release THE DEN OF THE ASSASSIN in paperback, in conjunction with the author's release of the critically acclaimed story inspired by the ordeal his family faced titled CHASING THE CYCLONE, later this Spring.
As Peter Thomas points out in THE DEN OF THE ASSASSIN, the world was expected to be a less threatening place after the Soviet Union collapsed due to financial instability in the early 1990's. But for now, ongoing corruption in Russia continues to fuel belligerent organizations intent on implementing terror and destruction in the West.
In this provocative international espionage novel Peter Thomas has a lot to talk about concerning the present U.S. - Russian relationship, and how this relationship affects the world. "Russia is the only destabilized country in the history of the world near-similiar same weapons capacity of the United States; it is a country today that in fact has had one major financial crisis after another, and actually implemented little needed governing reform capable of circumventing black-market activities, which are, without a doubt, a threat to the West." Despite a visibly more cooperative working arrangement between the two countries, the author as well as scores of news headlines suggest that though the Cold War may be over, the ramifications of years of threats and distrust are still highly visible, and ongoing differences between the two nations continues to grow despite public attempts to shield these differences.
THE DEN OF THE ASSASSIN opens in New York City, where an unassuming investment banker, Tyler Boxter, is preoccupied with his all-consuming career that acts as a personal shield against the trappings of life that hid guilt and pain and memories he didn't want. Memories of a time when there was more than superficial niceties. And work. And work for Tyler Boxter was fruitful, perhaps even his salvation. Unknown to the world, Tyler Boxter and his partner, retired federal judge John Morgan, had in fact embarked upon altering the investment world they dwelled in, a strategy that would, if successful, earn them untold amount of monies. More importantly, if it were possible to receive penance by masterminding a financial strategy that would benefit millions, then that much the better. However, if they failed . . . failure was not even an option.
A mysterious theft leads the two partners from the sanctity of their Wall Street office as they are thrust into the dark world of international terrorism -- where zealots stir in the brutal desserts of the Middle East, where dark, sunken eyes look into the abyss of Siberia's desolate terrains, where prisoners -citizens- who live on a remote peninsula in Asia would rather submit to isolationist cleansing than feel the wrath of a deceitful troll intent on destroying the ideals of the West.
Unknown to Boxter, a sophisticated game of corporate chess is about to be played against a madman who is more savage and merciless than the winds of an atomic holocaust. From the current resurgence of former-KGB hard-liners in Russia and the corrupt oligarchs who control the black-market of the weapons trade, from the isolationist mountains of North Korea to the sweeping deserts of the Middle East, from the looming specter of biological warfare to the ways in which terrorists hide and wash their money, from the arcane methods by which corporate America funds itself to the inner workings of Wall Street's war rooms, to democratic nations' use of sophisticated computer systems such as PROMIS and PISCES, Peter Thomas' DEN OF THE ASSASSIN is an informative, compelling, spin-tingling international espionage thriller that will keep readers turning through the pages.
