The Delphi Betrayal
“A bloody but good spy tale.” The Cincinnati Post
Washington D.C, 1981. In a small, windowless room in the bowels of the White House, the finest minds and most powerful political forces of our time, backed by a vast consortium of the world's richest multinational corporations, ignite a global conspiracy to take over the world. Only two people stand in their way…searching for the stolen dossier that could bring the whole scheme down. Racing with the speed of a crackling fuse, the chase is on, from Washington to Munich to Amsterdam to Peking, to a shattering climax that will determine the fate of humanity.

About the author
Lewis Perdue
28 books42 followersLewis Perdue is the author of 20 published books: 13 thrillers (some bestselling, including 3 co-authored with Lee Goldberg). Lew has also written seven non-fiction works ranging from wine to technology.
He is currently a biomedical researcher affiliated with the University of California San Francisco School of Medicine, publishes Wine Industry Insight (for the trade), is an algorithm inventor at Revolution Algorithms, and consults with early stage technology companies. He lives near Sonoma, California.
Lew is an honors graduate of Cornell University where he studied organic chemistry, biology and communications. Financially self-supporting at age 18, Perdue financed his education by working full time at two Gannett daily newspapers.
He has worked as an investigative journalist in Washington DC for Jack Anderson, and has written for The Washington Post, Washington Monthly, The Nation and other publications.
He's served as a columnist for The Wall Street Journal Online, CBS Marketwatch, and TheStreet.Com.
In addition to journalism, Lew has been Chief Marketing Officer for a technology company (Transpositional Modulation Technologies), served as a top staff member for U.S. Senator Thad Cochran, and Mississippi Governor Bill Waller. He's also been a Managing Director for MSLGroup of Publicis Worldwide.
Lew is a native of the Mississippi Delta, and -- like the hero of his thrillers, Perfect Killer & Hellhound -- is the disinherited scion of a politically powerful, Faulknerian heritage.
