Oh my David -- I long for the days gone by when you really dug deep for your clues -- and drove mystery and intrigue from carefully deposited hints and facts -- etc-- But this one seems so convenient-- Whatever you need --you just write it in-- without allowing us to find the foreshadowing you used to expertly weave into the storytelling-- that made them believable-- In this one although half of Washington lie dead in the path of Oliver-- The villain was not only impossible to imagine but her payoff-- 1 billion dollars-- David did you think the novel was not going to press this decade--really David -- please get back to caring about what you write!

Never the less -- i have to say the Novel was a good Political thriller-- kept me entertained -- but do not pay first run price for this one-- wait for paperback or the library
