I still loved the book all Sam Bourne. His first was a "righteous", which was excellent. This is his fourth effort. He had some recurring characters in some of his novels since then, and this one features a character from the Last Testament of his second novel.
The plot of this one is more typical thriller than his previous books, I thought it did highlight a few in the crowd - I'm sorry, this is not one. The central premise is that the return character (Maggie Costello) is an advisor to a new U.S. president, who has just won a surprise landslide. Maggie worked with him in his campaign team, and then to White House staff. However, soon after he comes to power, he is attacked by a series of revelations about his past in order to remove him from office. They come from one person who dies in a suicide, before the final revelation of the killers. Maggie leaves the investigator to track what is happening.
So it is normal fast pace typical thriller, but I was a little disappointed, because as I say the book by Sam in the past were more atypical twist or story line and turn in this one so wired that surely nobody could have figured that comes in a large way to go before it happens to disclose. But if you like thrillers a la Dan Brown, etc. This is a reasonable effort - more than half marks in any case
