Customer Reviews

Very good drama & intrigue; exceptionally accurate detail

This is a good account of a complex intrigue involving foreign money laundering and the American political process. Set principally in Washington DC, Stevens exhibits a stunning ability to show how the "real" world of politics and money actually works. His characters are well developed, his weaving of sub-plots is extraordinary, and a surprise ending, literally on the last page (don't peek!) reflect the author's ability to hold the reader until the last moment. By the way, Stevens has an even later one out, "Kara's Game", which is even better.

good at detail; good yarn of murder and politics

Good character development, good plot lines -- almost the real thing...
