" This book reminds me of David Baldacci's Camel Club books. If you like CIA, government corruption, etc., then this is a great read. "

" Another highly entertaining political thriller featuring my favorite regular guy character Joe DeMarco. While the plot did go a bit over the top the writing and the characters were top notch and the narration by Joe Barrett was much improved from the previous book. "

" The story was pretty good with an evil politician as the villain. The hero investigator was practical and driven to do the right thing. The ending dragged on a bit and the killing of the villain was over the top. "

" An escapist read of former spies and morally bankrupt politicians behaving badly. Joe is a bit hapless and I'd like to see his character develop a bit more (we're in the fourth book already) and the plot is a bit obvious, but escapist doesn't have to be perfect on the page. Love the Emma character! "

" Not sure why, but this one was better than the prior three. Maybe because DeMarco had so little help or because the reader was exposed to he nuances of his character and The Speaker in this one. I'm gonna read all of th as soon as they are in paperback. "

" The cover blurb said if the reader liked Lee Child, we would like this. I don't agree, it's not a patch on the Jack Reacher books, but then, not many books of this thriller genre are. "

" A great read! I was familiar with the main characters from Lawson's previous novel, and this story didn't disappoint. "

" Another page turner as Joe DeMarco peels away the layers of apparent terrorist attacks and renews his "relationship" with his cousin who was responsible for Joe's ex-wife's departure. Legislative agenda drive this tense countdown.

" Good mystery, but more far-fetched than the other DeMarco stories. Still, enjoyable and another great quick read.

Sandra | 11/12/2009
" I have found a great and for me a new mystery writer. Plus, he writes about D.C. which I love and politics which is always interesting to me. The characters are well drawn and the action moves quickly. For me, a great read.

" I didn't even finish this... didn't even get a quarter of the way through. Loved the first two but this one just couldn't grab my interest at all. Very disappointed.

" Starts okay but is very anticlimactic.
"
-
Mark | 9/27/2008
" From the blurb on the back of the book, this sounded like quite a good thriller. However, having now read it I'd have to say it swiftly turned into another average thriller with political leanings. Its not bad, but not as great as I was hoping for.
"
-
Kris | 7/28/2008
" Good mystery regarding the government and terrorists.
"

" New author. This one wasn't bad - kept expecting it go get better though. Never turned into the page turner I was hoping it might be. It was about home grown terrorism.
