The Shadow Rider - a Crooked Piece of Time (Volume 1) Dave Dragon 1. izdevums

Louis Parker travels the continent on his motorcycle, writing and blogging his adventures, though it's all a cover for his raison d'être, private and corporate mechanics, of the terminal variety. When his longtime friend and former agency controller, Nathan Malone, discovers there has been a hit placed on his own life, Louis must deal with the threat, in his highly trained and objective manor -- extreme prejudice.

While handling this real threat to Nathan, they discover that Nathan is only a small player in a much larger conspiracy, which could ultimately lead to the demise of the entire United States Governmental Leadership.

Nathan and Louis uncover a deep conspiracy to assassinate the President and Vice President, by the Speaker of the House and the President Pro Tempore of the Senate. The Speaker was once Nathan's boss at CIA, and he's cleaning house, ahead of a run for the White House, ridding himself of the skeletons left in the wake of his 30+ years of corruption while in the service of the United States.

In his position, the Speaker has literally hundreds of potential co-conspirators in place at FBI, CIA and Secret Service, so there is no one Louis and Nathan can trust while dealing with this assassination and coup plot that's unfolding around them.

With the clock ticking down, they must neutralize this devastating threat before the annihilation of the US Government happens live, on international television.
