Flat Light

(LARGE PRINT VERSION) In battles between good and evil, time will be on one side or the other. In FLAT LIGHT two small families of sophisticated killers make time, itself, their principal weapon. FLAT LIGHT begins in 1987. Two of East Germany’s intelligence officers realize their socialist state is about to collapse. They embezzle state funds, defect to the West, and set about revenge on America. The murders they patiently plot rely upon lavish funding, exotic talents, and â€" most of all â€" a twenty-five-year head start. Also in 1987, young man far away is quietly plucked from humble circumstances, and taught to be a world-class assassin. His teacher is none other than Jacob Leach, who even in his sixties still ranks as the world’s deadliest man. In 2012, the young man’s extraordinary skill will confront the families’ invincible plan.
