Have you ever wondered if your life could make a difference?

For Herman Ingram, that question changed everything. He left his job at a high-profile Washington, D. C. newspaper, fed up with the corruption and the restraints imposed on him. Today, he runs a successful news site, though that one question keeps gnawing at his gut. He wants to make a difference, needs to, but he also needs the right story. Nothing else holds meaning for him.

He finds what he’s after when an unmarked package lands on his doorstep. Inside, he finds documents that illustrate a plan to introduce a synthetic substance into a water source that serves millions. 

Behind the package’s appearance is George Wilman, a chemical engineer turned whistleblower. The recent “accidental” death of a colleague served as the catalyst for George to take action. With the evidence sent, he flees into the night.

As the clock ticks down, George fights to stay alive. Herman works his way closer to exposing the scheme to the public. The corporation—desperate to keep the truth obscured—dispatches hit squads to eliminate all threats. Armed only with his wit—and occasionally hampered by his sarcasm—Herman readies himself for a showdown in the lion’s den. If nothing else, he’ll finally find the answer to the question that changed everything.
