Sometimes it is only through fiction that one can get close to the truth . . .
The drugs cartel of cartels has an annual turnover of more than $500 billion. Its gross turnover for one financial year is sufficient to buy the world's three largest public companies: General Electric, Royal Dutch Shell and Microsoft. If it dipped into its petty cash it could also buy Coca-Cola.
But the cartel wants more - it wants total control of its biggest market - the USA. And what better way to control a country than through its President? To this end board member Andrew Sinclair makes an unholy alliance with the Reverend Patrick Collins, a man who is popular throughout the USA, who is vehemently anti-drugs and who seems to have no dark secrets . . . or does he?
The drug barons are ruthless in their pursuit of power. Only film maker Adam Fraser, researching the past of Patrick Collins, can prevent their plan from succeeding.
Informed with the events of the recent past and an all-too-possible future, David Yallop has written a thriller gripping in its execution and timely in its message. After the Oklahoma bombing, corruption in the White House, the spread of international drug trafficking and money laundering, 'Unholy Alliance' speaks directly of the fears and concerns of the modern world.
