Smoke Screen

Green energy conglomerate Solar Mate has just received a one-time federal subsidy for $600 million for a brand-new Nevada complex that doesn't exist. New United States Attorney General Douglas Geiger has made Solar Mate his pet project to expose corruption in federal handouts. But Geiger has just unknowingly stepped into an arena controlled entirely by a shadowing forces. Steve and Tim are two low-level accountants working at Solar Mate's New York offices. Unfortunately for them, the unwittingly uncover Solar Mate's dirty little secrets. Not only has Solar Mate never produced a single solar panel, but its Nevada facility doesn't even exist! But they shouldn't know this. It's above their pay grade. They are expendable. And seeing as they are expendable, their digging has earned them the opportunity to rectify the spat between the company and Attorney General Geiger...by assassinating Geiger. The two accountants perform as is to be expected: they botch the attempt completely. Not only do they fail to kill Geiger, but now the authorities are looking for them. Worse yet, they've completely deviated from the escape plan. Now Steve and Tim are face to face with the people who hired them...and they're not happy. Whether they get out of this alive now rests entirely on the shoulders of a clandestine entity known only as "The Executive." Now $600 million hangs in the balance and The Executive isn't the only one who knows it. Hot on the trail is expert hitman Padraic Mason, a man whose morals and sobriety are always in question.
