Outlaw : a Robin Monarch novel
(Book)

The United States Secretary of State and the foreign ministers of China and India are kidnapped from a hidden location during top-secret negotiations. The "Sons of Prophecy" take responsibility and issue an ultimatum: If their demands are not met in seven days, the three will be beheaded live on the Internet. With the presidential election in only eight days, the President about to leave office, has few options -- he can't meet their demands and he can't let them be executed. In desperation, he calls upon former CIA operative and master thief Robin Monarch.
