MURDER BY NUMBERS
By Christopher John Fetherolf

GENRE: Action, Historical, Thriller
LOGLINE: Caden Thrush, a shadow assassin for the Queen, uncovers a plot of KGB operatives working with the IRA, the PLO, and Al-Qaeda terrorists in order to infiltrate the highest ranks of MI6, assassinate the Prime Minister, and unify terrorist cells across the globe to take down the crown.

SYNOPSIS:

Loosely based on true events. The Cold War is over. Russia and England have begun the diplomatic process of becoming allies, recalling their covert operatives from the field to discontinue the policy of spying from within. Caden Thrush, a decorated agent for the British Secret Service and nephew of a national hero who died in the line of duty, disrupts an IRA assassination attempt on the Prime Minister while on a routine security assignment. Severely injured in the assault, he is given a rare opportunity: return to duty as a field agent or be declared killed in action and become an unsung hero – a covert MI6 operative charged with taking out the Queen’s enemies from the shadows. Always putting country first, Caden assumes his new identity as an assassin for the Crown, but soon uncovers a hideous plot: KGB operatives, still entrenched deep in the highest ranks of MI6 are building an underground terrorist network, aligning the forces of the Irish Republican Army, the Palestinian Liberation movement, and alQaeda. The plan is simple: topple the government from within and seize the power from Parliament. Terrorist cells have been planted all over the UK, waiting patiently for the signal to strike: The death of the Prime Minister. As allies become enemies, Caden begins to see that his uncle’s death was orchestrated to keep the truth covered up. Now on the run from the traitors in his own country, Caden realizes he is on his own to root out the moles, expose the truth, stop the invasion, and protect his country.
