Synopsis

The dazzling sequel to The Inside Ring finds Joe DeMarco, the Speaker of the House’s all-purpose “fixer,” in a battle of wits against a lethal female spy.

On a tip from his nephew, the Secretary of the Navy asks House Speaker John Mahoney to send his troubleshooter, Joe DeMarco, to check out a potential case of fraud within the navy. As DeMarco and his friend Emma, a retired DIA agent, begin to investigate, they come to the terrifying realization that an espionage ring has infiltrated the naval base.
The leader of the espionage cell is a woman with whom Emma has a history that goes back to the cold war. Their encounter destroyed the woman’s once promising career and turned her into a ruthless operative who cares about only one thing: destroying Emma. DeMarco has never been near a spy in his life and now he’s dealing with a foreign agent who is more deadly than anyone he’s ever encountered.

The second perimeter by Mike lawson is like the first one a bit slow and unsteady. This time Joe Demarco is tasked with looking into the alleged spying at Bremerton Navy base. This turns out to be a rather complicated affair and it actually goes back in time twenty years. It was fun getting some bac......more

I waited a while before doing a review--sometimes my mind changes when everything settles. In this case, it didn't I liked the book but it was not as good as the first of the Joe DeMarco series.

I cane across Lawson as MA Lawson writing the Kay Hamilton trilogy starting with Rosarito Beach. I liked that and am disappointed that he didn't continue with Ms. Hamilton. But he did give us Joe and Emma and Tip O'Neill . . . excuse me, I mean Mahoney. You have to forgive me for confusing the two;......more
