"Gathering of Six" by Rob Williams

An investigation into the kidnapping of an Atlanta waitress by the local police and the FBI becomes deadly while shadowy forces move with unimaginable arrogance below the radar.

Humans yearn to know secrets; it's in our nature.

An unlikely duo, a daughter of one of the wealthiest families and a relatively poor construction worker, stumble unto a secret society with the ability to shape world events. Like chess masters moving pieces across a board, members of this group position elements of the world as they implement a radical design planned over several centuries -an ultimate restructuring of the world.

Just as the world isn't as it seems to be on the surface, people can be much more interesting if we look much deeper. Though worlds apart in education and privilege, Sam and Megan find that they are similar souls.
