The book of fate
(Book)

Wes Holloway, a cocky and ambitious presidential aide, puts Ron Boyle, the chief executive's oldest friend, into the presidential limousine. Minutes later, Wes is permanently disfigured, and Boyle is dead, the victim of a crazed assassin. Eight years later, Boyle is spotted, alive and well, in Malaysia. Trying to figure out what really happened takes Wes back to a decade-old presidential crossword, mysterious facts buried in Masonic history, and a two-hundred-year-old code invented by Thomas Jefferson. But what Wes doesn't realize is that "The Book of Fate" holds everyone's secrets - especially the ones worth dying for.
