In this book, Maggie didn't really play the part of a negotiator very much, but was more an undercover investigator for the White House. She was pitted against some very competent killers and manipulators, skilled in both wet work and computer tech.

It seemed like an impossible job for Maggie at times. Just as she starts to figure something out, someone dies and sets her back. When she almost dies, that was a major setback, but she doesn't sweat the petty things (but she doesn't seem to mind petting the sweaty things).

Just when it seemed too late, the plot unravels, but then there's a surprise ending. Add to that, an almost comical final ending (if you have a dark sense of humor), and I feel pushed to read the next book. ( )

It is a very interesting story with alot of twists and turn. It goes deep in the world of politics. It is difficult to predict how it ends. Really amazing... I recommend it ( )

I was slightly disappointed by this novel. I have enjoyed the other novels by Sam Bourne and although this one was readable, it was also pretty forgettable. Although sticking the knife into mega banks is always welcome. Will while away a few hours but that's about it. ( )

When you see TV ads for a book, you have to be wary. ( )
