I was intrigued because of political ads claiming the use of dark money in one of our upcoming state races. I was not familiar with the term dark money, but I am now after reading the book. The book had good characters and a fast moving storyline. It was set in the area of the country that I am very familiar with so that also made the read interesting. I would recommend the book to anyone interested in a fast-paced political thriller
