Plot synopsis

The opening lines to The Book of Fate are, "Six minutes from now, one of us would be dead. That was our fate. None of us knew it was coming.” Those words are spoken by an aid of the President of the United States named Wes Holloway. The novel begins on July 4th weekend, as the President attends an event. As the President is leaving, a crazed assassin attacks. The assassin kills one of the President's aides and best friends named Ron Boyle and permanently disfigures Wes with a bullet to the face. Eight years later, Boyle turns up alive. In trying to figure out how and why Boyle has returned, Wes must piece together clues involving that 4th of July, a decades-old presidential crossword puzzle, ancient Mason symbols hidden in the street plan of Washington, D.C., and ultimately a 200-year-old code invented by Thomas Jefferson.
