A political thriller that will take you inside the workings of Washington, D.C., the reader questions where the truth and fiction begin and end. The book starts in the future for a chapter and the reader is taken into the past to explain the story that must take place to get the characters in that place. Mike Ford the main character has had a sketchy past, but ends up in a job where his checkered past can be put to good use.

Outstanding, very suspenseful, and while it's a bit similar to John Grisham's "The Firm," as noted in a cover blurb, it has enough distinctive Washington DC background to seem different as well. Highly recommended if you like US-based political thrillers.

Really could not get into it ... didn't even finish, actually. Probably was me as it seems to have such rave reviews.
