Goodreads review by Blaine

Another winner by author Mike Lawson in his Joe DeMarco political thriller series. Lawson gets better and better, in my opinion, and this book requires DeMarco to use any and all sources to try and stop a serial killer. But here the serial killer, usually does not do the killing! No we have Senator......more

Goodreads review by Metodi

До тук, това определено е най-плътната и интересна история за Джо Демарко. Уверено плуващ сред политическата мърсотия на Вашингтон, дори и той е поразен от събитията, които го изпраща да разследва неговия шеф. Едно уж самоубийство, се оказва пътечка водеща към невероятен заговор, излизащ извън рамкит......more

First, let me say Mike Lawson is a flawless, smooth writer. You start one of his novels and the pages just speed by you effortlessly.

Quotes

“In Lawson’s excellent fourth Washington thriller to feature Joe DeMarco…the action builds to a stunning final twist.”

Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Lawson’s latest Joe DeMarco thriller proves to be his best yet…Intriguing, multidimensional characters balanced between good and evil combine with an involving plot and plenty of behind-the-scenes political machinations. It all adds up to one of the best thrillers of the year.”

Booklist (starred review)

“Audie Award nominee Joe Barrett…has a great, gravelly voice with an ability to make each character come alive as a real person. DeMarco fans will recognize characters from earlier books in the series, but this will not affect the experience for new readers/listeners. Surprises abound, and there is never a dull moment in this suspenseful plot.”
