In the summer of 2004, private investigator Don Carling is hired by a wealthy client for what he foresees as a routine yet lucrative "follow and report" investigation of her husband.

It's only a matter of days before he discovers just how wrong he is.

Murder, intimidation, and a terrorist plot apparently tied to the US presidential election in November leave the PI struggling to make sense of it all. From Paris and London to New York and eventually the American Southwest, Carling and his undercover agent doggedly track the evidence trail, hoping to put together an irrefutable case that can be handed over to federal authorities. Their goal is in sight when unexpected circumstances befall them -- just hours before the terrorists' deadline.

In "Shadows on the Flag," Russ Graham has fashioned an entertaining and topical mystery, a one-of-a-kind plot that twists and turns until it all comes together in an electrifying climax.
