The Chancellor Manuscript

Summary

"[The Chancellor Manuscript] exerts a riveting appeal, as it seems to justify our worst nightmares of what really goes on in the so-called intelligence community in Washington.” (The New York Times Book Review) Did J. Edgar Hoover die a natural death? Or was he murdered? When a group of high-minded and high-placed intellectuals known as Inver Brass detect a monstrous threat to the country in Hoover’s unethical use of his scandal-ridden private files, they decide to do away with him - quietly, efficiently, with no hint of impropriety. Then best-selling thriller writer Peter Chancellor stumbles onto information that makes his previous books look like harmless fairy tales. Now Chancellor and Inver Brass are on a deadly collision course, spiraling across the globe in an ever-widening arc of violence and terror. All roads lead to a showdown that will rip the nation’s capital apart - leaving only one damning document to survive. Praise for Robert Ludlum and The Chancellor Manuscript: “Ludlum stuffs more surprises into his novels than any other six-pack of thriller writers combined.” (The New York Times) “A roaring ride on a roller coaster of suspense.” (The Pittsburgh Press) “Powerhouse momentum...as shrill as the siren on the prowl car.” (Kirkus Reviews) “A complex scenario of inventive double-crossing." (Chicago Sun-Times)
