The Capitol Directive: The Sovereign Paradox - Book One

By Kapil Gupta

Elias Thorne was once the State Department's sharpest treaty analyst-until he found a clause that shouldn't exist and was destroyed for telling the truth. Now living in exile above a Genevan bookshop, he watches the money move before the world does. And the money is saying something catastrophic is coming.

When a Chinese blockade of the Taiwan Strait and a gridlocked infrastructure bill in the U.S. Senate lock together with impossible precision, Thorne realizes the crisis and the legislation are the same machine. A disgraced diplomat and a rising senator must expose the conspiracy binding them-and pass the one law that could save the country.

They pass it. The law was the trap.

THE CAPITOL DIRECTIVE is Book One of The Sovereign Paradox, a political thriller about who really writes the rules of power.
