Out of the ashes of war-torn Cairo after WWII the Muslim Brotherhood becomes a new kingmaker in Egypt. A rift develops in the Brotherhood and a secret sect forms calling themselves the Brotherhood of the Caliphate. They are patient, cunning, and understand who their true enemy is. Now after fifty years the pieces are in order for them to make their decisive move.

There are no instant gratification terrorists in this thriller. You will be introduced to Muslim casino owner Aman Kazim, making his fortune during the mafia heydays of Las Vegas in the 50s and 60s, Aziz A’zami, a former horse trainer and WWII spy living out his last days in Islamic Cairo, and their protégé, Zachariah Hardin, who after thirty years has ascended the political hierarchy of the United States.

Agent of Influence takes globe-trotting CIA spy Anna Starks through Las Vegas, Lake Tahoe, Reno, Cairo, Louisville, and Washington, D.C. as she races against time to piece together President-Elect Hardin’s sinister past before it is too late. What she finds could alter the landscape of the United States forever.

Find out why Kirkus Indie Reviews says that “Agent of Influence is a taut political thriller that moves with speed and agility.”
