Another Coonts page-turner with unexpected twists and turns.
Very enjoyable, fast paced from the opening paragraph. Not quite as "out there" as other Coonts books.
A first rate thriller. CIA operative must use all his skills to stay alive. Action and intrigue.
Good action, suspense, CIA topics involving the president and NY City.
A good CIA type genre book, very well done if you are a Coonts fan you will enjoy it

This book is signed by the author. I cannot verify the authenticity of the autograph.
Wow. Mix Tommy Carmellini and Admiral Jake Grafton into the intrigues and dangers of a presidential convention in New York City, add a dark secret from the past and you get a great book. I hated to put it down, even at 3:30 AM!!! Sleep won, but I was reading again with the first cup of coffee the next day.
