A race against time ensues, and Agent Colletti isn’t the only one feeling the pressure. Alex Hamilton has a son missing and election he’s losing.

Review

Politics, corruption, deception, and secrets. This sums up this book, and if you enjoy those types of stories, you will probably enjoy this one.

This book was filled with so many twists and turns it will keep the reader guessing who is involved, why, and what the end game might be. Just when I thought we had all the answers, the last chapter threw another twist into the mix.

I loved the fast pace of this story, the varied characters, the seedy underside of the story, and so much more. I think my favorite character was Vasquez. His quiet strength and faith kept him on track.

While the book ends with most things wrapped up, the new information presented could be a cliffhanger, and there could be another book that continues this story. I could see it happening!

There are some sad moments near the end, but it was to be expected that there would be some tragedies.

This story might be hard to read for some due to the incident at the university, considering the number of school shootings, but this is slightly different.

Overall, we give this book 5 paws up.
