THE INNER CIRCLE is political intrigue at it's best and I was lucky enough to sit down and talk to Brad while he was on tour for the book.

The book is the story of Beecher White - and ordinary guy who happens to work at the National Archives and finds himself in the middle of a Presidential level conspiracy. The "Inner Circle" refers to a real group in history called The Culper Ring. It was a spy ring of "ordinary people" that was created by George Washington to help win the Revolutionary War. Thought to be disbanded just after that in real life - Brad creates a world where this supremely successful group still operates.

"George Washington had this incredibly successful group in place. Why would he end that?" says Brad.

The book brings us a couple of great new characters, a page-turning pace and a little bit of a cliff-hanger ending. But no worries, for the first time in his fiction writing career, Brad is doing a series!
