Black Friday [compact disc] Alex Kava
On the busiest shopping day of the year, idealistic college students wade into the throngs in malls across America to carry
out an elaborate media stunt.
Read More Theyre carrying concealed devices they believe will disrupt stores computer systems, causing chaos at the checkouts. But
at the nations largest shopping center, the results are incendiary - and people lie dead. A white-collar lobby group called
Citizens for American Pride takes responsibility for the protest action, calling for an end to cheap, foreign-made goods and
exported manufacturing jobs. But they insist the bombing was the work of rogue members, zealots who took CAPs protectionist
message too far. As Maggie and her partner, Special Agent R. J. Tully, sift through both the debris and the facts of the case,
they uncover the disturbing truth beneath CAPs respectable veneer: paranoia, racism and a sinister secret agenda that extends
to the organizations highest ranks-all wrapped in the flag...and ready to make an even bigger statement. As retailers countdown
to Christmas Eve, Maggie knows that infiltration is the only option, even though the cost to her personally could be huge.
And if they fail, more innocent shoppers will pay with their lives.
