FBI agent, Royce Johnson, learns that his brother, Alex, has committed suicide but something doesn't seem quite right about that and Royce decides to investigate. What he finds is conspiracy upon conspiracy in which the treachery could lead all the way up the chain of command to the commander-in-chief. The cut and dried case is not what it seems and Royce digs in to discover the truth in order to protect the innocent and clear his brothers name. The more he investigates, the more he realizes that he didn't know his brother as well as he thought. As the case unravels, the danger increases and he puts his career on the line to find the truth. This story was suspenseful with lots of twists and turns. It is a believable tale of misuse and manipulation of power that hopefully is not business as usual in US politics but it is possible. There are quite a few tragedies here but I liked this story. However, some of the descriptive style of writing including imagery and metaphors were a bit strange to me, also, the ending was a bit anti-climatic. I think it could use a little more editing but I would recommend this book. I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.… (altro)
