Senior Clinton aides call the cabal the "core group." It includes Maria Victoria Arias, a Miami lawyer married to Hugh Rodham, the First Lady's brother; and wealthy businessman Paul Cejas, who occasionally stays overnight at the White House. Arias telephones Hillary frequently and often sends Clinton clippings from Florida newspapers. In regular meetings at the Colonnade Hotel in Coral Gables or at Little Havana's Versailles Restaurant, the core group plans strategy and prepares appeals, which are sent by way of private notes to Clinton's top political aides.

There are moments that recapitulate the kind of personal identification that went on in Visotzky's group, as when the group discusses Jacob, the wildly ambitious, God-haunted wanderer who hoodwinks Esau and goes on to wrestle a mysterious adversary, emerging with a limp and a blessing.

Also writhing and babbling, at least in the case of one victim who escapes from his medical abductors and turns up in a New York City trauma room presided over by Dr. Guy Luthan (Hugh Grant). There the poor fellow sets all the diagnostic dials to spinning inexplicably. Not to mention Luthan's highly ethical brain. For the man dies in mysteriously untreatable agony, and then his body disappears before a proper autopsy can be performed. Investigating, Luthan soon finds himself conspired against--with his job, a fellowship, life itself...
