a fun, light read, it's always a tiny thrill to have places in your neighborhood mentioned. Not great literature but as others have mentioned it is perfect for a few hours distraction on a flight. The masonic aspects are largely (i.e. completely) irrelevant to the plot and situations and seem to be solely present to try to draw in the DaVinci Code crowd. ( ) To be honest, this was the best book I ever picked from a charity shop. It definitely brought me out of my reading slump despite taking half a year to read (I’m slow). However taking it on a trip definitely brought me back to it. I loved the plot and didn’t expect the third member of The Three to be who it was. Wes overall was someone I fell in love with. Boyle on the other hand confused me with the random pieces of info thrown into the story. Would defo recommend this to anyone who loves a mystery/Political type book. (2006)Very good thriller. Publishers WeeklySet against a backdrop of Oval Office corruption, bestseller Meltzer's overblown thriller opens with a frantic assassination attempt on President Leland Manning, who manages to elude the gunfire. Manning's deputy chief of staff, Ron Boyle, is killed, and his top aide, the cocky, ambitious Wes Holloway, is left facially disfigured. Eight years later, his motivation and confidence drained by his handicap, Holloway still toils away for the out-of-office Manning, fetching refreshments and handling the daily social calendar. On a goodwill junket to Malaysia, however, Holloway spots Boyle, surgically altered, but unmistakably the same man who was supposed to be dead and gone. From this turning point, Meltzer (The Zero Game) follows Holloway step by excruciatingly slow step as he tries to find out what really happened eight years earlier. Authentic details about Washington politics and historical mysteries enliven the predictable path. While readers looking for efficient plotting may be disappointed, Meltzer's many fans will enjoy this substantial meal of a book. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
