Charlie Galloway has hit bottom-hard. His wife has left
him, and the Los Angeles Police Department has
suspended him. It is beginning to look as if his life has
been permanently shattered.
But when his Filipino housekeeper is savagely
murdered, Charlie sees his one last chance for
redemption-if he can find the killer. Somewhere deep
in the dark recesses of Galloway s brain is the notion
that if he can just solve this one puzzle he can put his life
back on track. His desperate search leads him into the
heart of a conspiracy that has its genesis in the jungles
of the Philippines and snakes its way across the country,
through the corridors of power in Washington, D.C., and
all the way to Langley, Virginia. It is a conspiracy driven
by the calculating opportunism of two men, each of
whom wants more power than any one man should
have: Senator Byron Truskett, who has a chance
for the presidency; and William Laforge, who is
Truskett s choice to be the next director of the Central
Intelligence Agency.
In the course of his investigation, Galloway stumbles
into a morass of political double-dealing and runs the
gamut of Washington s sins-adultery, manipulation,
and betrayal-all conducted with the obligatory smile.
Charlie Galloway slowly comes to realize that he is out
of his depth.
Campbell Armstrong has given us the complexities
of modern political reality before in such bestselling
novels as Jig and Mambo, but never so compellingly as
in Agents of Darkness. The shattering climax resonates
with an explosive rage deeply rooted in the agony and
hopelessness that dominate-the life of an honorable
man determined to do what he must, regardless of the
personal consequences.
