An Essential Deception

The British Prime Minister is missing. Vanished without trace. Government security has launched an urgent investigation. Former Scotland Yard detective, Dr. Hanson Shaw, is drawn into the mystery. Guarding the secret of his own remarkable abilities, Shaw is quickly thrust into the center of a shocking conspiracy of global dimensions. Messianic billionaire, Edward Cheyne, is funding terrorism to bring about a massive social, political and religious reformation in Europe. Cheyne's ruthless strategy has deadly repercussions for the entire world. Following a spectacular assassination, the threat of civil war looms menacingly across Europe. While the search goes on for Westminster's most senior politician, images of murder and mayhem begin to overwhelm the news media. And Shaw's investigation confronts a startling revelation: hidden within the shadows of political intrigue, an even bigger, more deadly game is being played out.
