After the head of the CIA, Jake LaFountaine, gives a secret briefing to a group of congressional leaders in Lawson’s engaging fifth thriller featuring fix-it man Joe DeMarco (after House Secrets), someone leaks the information to the press. This slip results in the brutal killing of CIA agent Mahata Javadi (“one of the bravest persons I ever met,” LaFountaine tells a room full of reporters), who was working undercover in Iran. John Fitzpatrick Mahoney, Speaker of the House of Representatives and Washington’s premier political puppet master, tasks DeMarco with finding the leaker. Despite three wild cards confounding the search—a Russian mobster, the wealthy head of a technology company, and a mysterious killer bent on revenge—DeMarco manages to remain alive and get himself a fabulous new girlfriend. The always present push and pull between the political machinations of alcoholic, egotistical Mahoney and De Marco’s basic decency raises the ethical stakes.

When a CIA agent working in Iran is murdered as the result of a congressional leak, the Speaker of the House sends Joe DeMarco to locate the source--only, DeMarco finds he's not alone in his quest. Lawson's fifth entry in this series, following the LJ Best Book of 2009 House Secrets, also available from Blackstone Audio and read by Audie Award nominee Joe Barrett, has all the elements that audiences have come to expect from the author: a compelling cast of characters, a gripping story line, exciting plot twists, insightful details about governmental organizations, and a likable hero. A strong addition to the series; recommended. [The Atlantic Monthly hc received a starred review, LJ 5/1/10.--Ed.]--Theresa Stoner, St. Joseph Cty. P.L., South Bend, IN
