Bancroft Strategy

In this international thriller, a rogue agent and a beautiful hedge fund analyst discover a sinister conspiracy hiding behind a benevolent foundation.

As a field agent for Consular Operations, Tod Belknap has always had a cowboy reputation. But now, after an operation goes wrong, he has finally been cut loose from the organization. Soon afterward, his best friend and former partner is abducted by a militia group in Lebanon. When the government refuses to get involved, Belknap takes matters into his own hands.

Meanwhile, hedge fund analyst Andrea Bancroft is surprised to be offered a seat on her estranged family’s powerful foundation. But the foundation appears less and less benign the more deeply involved she gets. Then she discovers something truly shocking: the foundation is linked to “Genesis”, a mysterious group working to destabilize geopolitical order.

As events escalate, Todd Belknap and Andrea Bancroft come together and must form an uneasy alliance if they are to uncover the truth behind “Genesis”—before it is too late.
