Russian head of SVR operations learns of a secret ceramic with magical abilities allowing ballistic missile up to 15,000 miles in thirty minutes at 3,000 feet altitude which would be impossible to defend against. A rogue CIA agent arranges the theft of a brief case containing the ceramic's formula. The thief recognizes the contents and attempts to sell the formula to the Chinese. The sale literally blows up leaving two Chinese gunmen dead in a Christmas tree farm. The CIA Director orders Alex Holt, the bureau's best agent, to organize a plan to mislead everyone about the abilities of the ceramic, but Holt now confused, discovers his plan is identical to one which was devised two years earlier. With a little Lawrence Sanders mixed into the plot, together with a sprinkle of Jack Higgins and Ken Follett, the wickedly creative plan Author Jack Cummings introduces Alex Holt to nonfiction. Holt's history suggests he could be the son of Ludlum's Jason Bourne. The plot builds as Cummings weaves conspiracy and suspense in what seems a keystone cop slapstick attempt, a la Carl Hiaasen, yet ends up with the greatest misdirection CIA plan ever to convince everyone the ceramic is a failure. The Russians and the Chinese do their worst to find the truth, and they all end up on a Caribbean cruise ship with a group evangelical Jamaicans. Will the CIA Screw it up?
