The Strength of Stones

The action begins in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where thirty-something engineer Terry Wallingford has just lost his job, but doesn’t want to give up the good life of an American expat worker in Saudi Arabia. When a distinguished Saudi fellow invites him to a meeting in a smart downtown Riyadh hotel and offers him an unusual, but extremely lucrative, opportunity, he finds he can’t refuse it. That’s where Terry’s adventure begins. Soon after accepting the stranger’s offer, Terry Wallingford’s life spins wildly out of control and events he never anticipated overtake him. What began as an interesting business opportunity ends up as a life and death struggle as Saudi federal police, along with several agencies of the U.S. government, step in to find out what’s going on, who’s behind it, and how to end it.
