A chain of seemingly unrelated events--spanning the entire globe--unfolds over a period of ten eventful months. An oil rig disaster in the Gulf of Mexico that leaves 27 dead. A mysterious death in Paris. The president of the U.S.A. implicated and impeached. A game-changing presidential election in the making...and oil prices spiraling out of control. Are these separate events somehow interconnected?A cryptic note sent to the renowned investigative reporter, Elyse Roberts, sets off a fast-paced race to uncover the truth. As Elyse scrambles to solve the mystery, danger lurks every step of the way. Before long, Elyse realizes some will go to extreme lengths to fulfill their sinister objectives--even murder. Never in her life would Elyse have imagined that a single piece of paper would lead her to the biggest story of her life. Elyse is forced to partner with a small-town attorney fighting his own past demons--with the fate of one of the largest civil lawsuits resting squarely on his shoulders. The two unlikely collaborators face hidden dangers that not only put their own lives at risk, but everyone holding the answers.As Elyse embarks on her dangerous mission, she is quickly running out of time--and the death toll keeps rising. Will she survive to uncover the plot?In The Knight Conspiracy, author Sean Gautam highlights the close ties between politics and business. This novel plays on the nuances that are often lost upon the public. Media attention is generally focused on the superficial elements of a story, while the clandestine undercurrents among businesses, political parties, law firms and the judicial system are rarely scrutinized. Cries of victims are silenced thanks to a legal system rigged in favor of law firms more than victims. The boundaries between political parties and businesses remain blurred, and our elected officials--who are appointed to safeguard the interests of the public--are controlled by their deep-pocketed donors. How do you uncover the truth? Just follow the money.
