Description: When a retired colleague dies of an apparent suicide, ex - Secret Service agent Joe Reeder knows there must be far more to the story. Why did the man leave a desperate message for Reeder moments before dying? And what could possibly make such a seasoned veteran fear for his life?
FBI Special Agent Patti Rogers has a mystery of her own to solve: she's leading a task force investigating a brutal series of similar but seemingly unconnected murders across the DC area. Are they serial killings or something even more sinister?
Could Reeder and Rogers be tracking down different facets of the same conspiracy? And how do the continued assassination attempts on a presidential hopeful figure into an unprecedented attack on the heart of government?
The answers to these questions are uncovered in this riveting sequel to the bestselling Supreme Justice.
My Thoughts: The second book in the Reeder and Rogers series begins with the death of a former Secret Service agent. He left a message on Joe Reeder's phone, but Reeder doesn't get the message until after his former colleague is dead. Joe is suspicious when the death is declared a suicide and is determined to look into it more closely.
Meanwhile, FBI Special Agent Patti Rogers is leading a taskforce investigating a series of murders in the area around Washington, DC. All they seem to have in common is the manner of death. Otherwise, the victims are seemingly random.
It soon becomes apparent that Joe's investigation and Patti's are connected and lead to something big coming up. Their investigation takes them to billionaire and potential third-party candidate Adam Benjamin who is pushing an agenda of Common-Sense centrism. Benjamin is one of Reeder's few heroes.
The story is packed with action, suspense, and high stakes crimes. I enjoyed getting together with Reeder and Rogers for another excellent thriller. I especially enjoyed the quotes at the beginnings of chapters which featured people buried at Arlington National Cemetery.
