Another good book by Sandford, with a new hero, Jake Winter (he seems to have a penchant for the name or word Winter). While the mystery was engaging, I usually find politics a little off-putting and had to read this in stops and starts. For those who like the twists and turns of the political thriller, this is a great read. Personally I prefer the Lucas Davenport books, but Jake is in himself a fascinating character that I would not mind reading more of. I just have to be in the right mood. It starts off with Jake, who is ex-Army Intelligence, being asked to look into the disappearance of a US Republican Senator by the Democratic president. The senator's wife believes that the Democratic Virginia governor and his pseudo-army of "Watchmen" are responsible and is making trouble for the Democrats about it. Through pretzel-like twists and turns, Jake burrows deeper into danger as his investigation slowly uncovers the truth.
