Sorry I was not able to read you book but it went to archive before I could get to it. Sorry once again.

(I received a free copy of this book from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.)

When the CIA director is murdered, Butch Karp finds himself battling a heavyweight opponent: the US government. The national presidential election campaign’s foreign policy mantra has been that the terrorists are on the run and Bin Laden is dead. There are rumors that the CIA chief was going to deviate from the administration version of events, and that the government may have had something to do with his death. Can Karp expose the cover-up and find the Chechnyan separatists who aided the Americans at the mission and who have firsthand knowledge of the terrorist attack? Karp must also find his missing daughter, who has been taken hostage by the terrorists.
After the New York grand jury indicts the national presidential campaign chairman and the NSA spymaster for the murder of the CIA chief, Karp engages in an unforgettable courtroom confrontation with the defendants who have the full weight of the US administration, a hostile judge, and a compliant media supporting them. These sinister forces will stop at nothing to prevent Karp from bringing out the truth, even if they have to resort to murder.

This was sad. I had enjoyed a few of these Butch Karp novels - they are entertaining, engaging and a lot of thrills and spills that keep suspense novel fans coming back.

This, on the other hand, was a series of pro-Republican essays being passed off as a novel. I am not even from the US and I can see that as clear as day. I want a novel to be free of those things. That's way reading is called "escapism" - we want to get away from the everyday, not be further immersed in it...
