Richard A. Clarke, "Pinnacle Event"

Following his thirty years in the government, ten of which were spent at the White House, where he served under three consecutive presidents, Clarke has worked with ABC News, taught at Harvard’s Kennedy School, and has written six books, both fiction and nonfiction. In his new novel he draws on his experience with national security to create Ray Bowman, an American intelligence expert working with a Mossad agent and a South African intelligence officer to discover who bought five nuclear weapons—and prevent a devastating attack.
