What happens? This story carries on from the last Madriani novel "Guardian of Lies" (I think) which involved a failed terrorist attempt to detonate a nuclear device at a nuclear power plant's waste facility. Madriani has been under protective custody as the government has tried to protect him and simultaneously keep the nuclear nature of the recent attach private. Liquida is biding his time to get even with him, and is at the same time working with a nice Australian lunatic named Mr. Thorpe who has a terrorist assignment to blow up some kind of "fat boy" device on a Washington DC location. "The Weatherman" is behind it all, his identity is revealed at the end.
How long was this? 390 pages
Did I like this? I was disappointed to have a continuation of the government conspiracy, terrorist thing from the last book. Madriani and Hinds have practically shuttered the law practice to deal with the threat, so it is not really a legal thriller. But it is a thriller and a page turner. I don't think it would have been as good if I hadn't read the last one.
Overall grade: B+
