Synopsis:
Some of the most powerful people in the government, military, and private sector are planning to take over the reins of the White House- and populate it with their own sympathizers and puppets. They have already taken out the Speaker of the House, whose death was made to look like an accident. The President and VP are the next in the line.
On restricted duty while he recovers from injuries incurred from a previous mission Dewey Andreas is sent to Paris by the director of the CIA to accompany the Secretary of State. But what should have been a simple security job turns into a nightmare when the Secretary is take out by a hitman and blames falls on Dewey, He is left on his own to clear his name.
My Thoughts:
People are trying to kill the President and the Vice President. The Secretary of the State has been killed. Everyone assumes that Dewey Andreas killed him. But did he? As I was reading this, I became very frustrated and angry that Dewey was in trouble, and wished that I could have been there to help him find the people who were trying to plan a coup,
It leads us on an intelligence investigation that spans three countries and has us cheering the good guys along the way.
This book was very action packed. It left me not wanting to put the book down, until I knew the bad guys were identified and caught or dead. I wanted to also keep reading to find out who was a part of this coup and see that justice was served.
If you like political thrillers of any kind I would definitely recommend Trap the Devil.
This is my very honest opinion.
