      residente; era la loro pedina, e lo era stato fin dall’inizio. Era lì perché ve l’avevano messo loro. Perché erano sicuri che avrebbe fatto quello che gli avrebbero chiesto. Washington. Ha dovuto abbandonare precipitosamente gli Stati Uniti e una brillante carriera nella polizia di Los Angeles, e iniziare, come Nicholas Marten, una nuova vita in Inghilterra. Poi arriva la telefonata di Caroline, il grande amore della sua vita, che ha un disperato bisogno del suo aiuto. Ha perso il figlio e il marito – un influente membro del Congresso – in un incidente aereo ed è ricoverata in fin di vita. Prima di morire mormora a Nicholas frasi sconnesse, in cui accenna a una mano omicida... Sentendo che nelle ultime parole di Caroline ci sono troppi misteri, Marten decide di indagare. Ma non immagina l’orrore che lo aspetta e, soprattutto, chi sarà al suo fianco in un’avventura ad altissimo rischio. Madrid. Il presidente degli Stati Uniti, in Europa per un importante vertice Nato, scopre che nel suo entourage si annidano pericolosi nemici della democrazia e della pace. I membri del complotto si ispirano a un’appendice segreta del Principe di Machiavelli, un documento custodito da cinquecento anni, come un testo sacro, dalla confraternita di Aldebaran, la setta più spietata che il mondo abbia mai conosciuto. Il presidente è in pericolo e non può fidarsi di nessuno. Ma si ricorda di Nicholas Marten...
