Publisher's Synopsis
(This book is the screenplay format of the story)
An action-suspense movie for the 'thinking man'.
The terrorism-in-US plot is about an assassination attempt (with an antitank missile) on the daughter of the U.S. President, as she drives to her college graduation ceremony. Meanwhile, a broader feeling - of retribution and justice - pulsates through the story. Why?
A similar movie would be The Day of the Jackal; though The One Westerner has an American context, and greater psychological depth of characterization. Meanwhile, the all-American hero who foils the plot is something of a lovable maverick, in the tradition of Die Hard.
The assassin is known to be a (white) British Muslim, but his true full identity is only revealed in the very last scene - and in a way which now proves how this taut action-suspense story has the literary depth which is associated with a Greek Tragedy.
Here is a screenplay which combines broad mass appeal with high literary standards.
