AL MOMENTO ESAURITO

The Patriots' Club by Christopher Reich (2005, Hardcover)

Thomas Bolden grew up on the streets, his childhood a blur of fragmented memories. But now he's managed to put his past behind him, find the woman he wants to share his life with, and carve out a successful career on Wall Street. Until, in the blink of an eye, his world is turned upside down. A bizarre kidnapping sends him fleeing for his life, his face everywhere on the TV news, and a violent, shadowy organization framing him for crimes he did not commit. Desperately trying to get back to where he was just a day before, Bolden must relearn the survival skills of his hardscrabble boyhood. But as Bolden--with just eleven dollars in his pocket and hunters all around him--survives one violent, harrowing hour after another, he makes a series of startling discoveries; about a mysterious woman wanted for murder ... about an astounding secret rooted in history, among the country's founding fathers and families . . . about a conspiracy lurking in the darkest corners of corporate America--and a deadly plan which only he can stop. And in the process. maybe Bolden will also find out who he really is . . .
