Acerca de esta escucha

"Quirk has earned his spot in the front ranks of thriller writers. Opens with a bang and keeps exploding for three hundred pages." (David Baldacci, New York Times best-selling author of A Minute to Midnight)

Framed and on the run for his life, a former Secret Service agent discovers how far some men will go to grasp the highest office in the land in this electrifying tale from the author of The Night Agent - a propulsive political thriller reminiscent of the best early Baldacci and Grisham novels.

As a Secret Service agent, Nick Averose spent a decade protecting the most powerful men and women in America and developed a unique gift: the ability to think like an assassin. Now, he uses that skill in a little-known but crucial job. As a "red teamer", he poses as a threat, testing the security around our highest officials to find vulnerabilities - before our enemies can. He is a mock killer, capable of slipping past even the best defenses.

His latest assignment is to assess the security surrounding the former CIA director at his DC area home. But soon after he breaches the man's study, the home's inner sanctum, Nick finds himself entangled in a vicious crime that will shake Washington to its foundations - as all the evidence points to Nick.

Nick knows he's the perfect scapegoat. But who is framing him, and why? To clear his name, he must find the truth - a search that leads to a dark conspiracy whose roots stretch back decades. The prize is the most powerful position in the world: the Oval Office.

To save himself and the people he loves, Nick must stop the men who rule Washington before they bury him along with their secrets.

"This one is a gritty, intense political thriller, filled with nuance and dire exploits. Totally entertaining. A treat from start to finish." (Steve Berry, author of The Malta Exchange)

Wrapped up at the very end

Great thriller and kept you guessing the entire time. I wish the author didn’t wait till the very end to answer all the questions.

Not particularly imaginative

The story was very predictable. This was my first experience with this author. Not terrible. but not sure he is worth another.

Power Corrupts. Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely

A hard listen in the USA on 11/06/2024. I wish it was all fantasy. UGH

Too much preaching

This would have been a very exciting, satisfying story if the author had cut out half of the preaching. After the reader grasped his views on crooked politics he just kept on and on - reiterating his views ad nauseam.

Disappointing

I expected much more out of the main character who was introduced as someone that was very capable but really disappointed. The story did not progress well and the ending was very disappointing.

From start to finish!

Heart-rate elevating start leading to relief, then BAM! all the trouble begins! So many corrupt people! Friendships betrayed.

The story lost a star for 2 simplistic or unreal parts: he found the key lady way too easily, and the whole interaction with his wife was weird. He loves her madly, but she did not show well in this story, and he did not treat her as he should have if he trusted and loved her so much. The interaction between the politicos was wonderful but sad.

Narration was great.

Fast paced!

Fast paced read. Decent overall. Performance was good. Found it to be a tad short for a thriller but finished on a good note.

First Time Listener of this Author

This is a great book. Not "on the edge of your seat" but very engaging all the way through.

Great paced story

I love a story that I can’t wait to get back to listen to! The narrator did a great job differentiating between characters.
