Bad Men
The sight of a dead body is nothing unusual for someone like former CIA agent John Kaiser. People wonder why he handles the sight of death with such stoicism. Some assume he is used to the scent of blood. Others think he must be emotionally calloused. Kaiser has his own reasons, though. According to him, people aren’t propelled by tragedy—they attract it.
So why should he feel sorry for somebody who’s not entirely innocent?
Compassion isn’t exactly among the required skills for a special investigator. All he has to do is solve crimes—in this case, finding out why successful New York City attorney Patrick Donnelly was brutally shot late at night in Central Park.
Despite years working as a lone wolf, Kaiser finds himself teamed with two other Ángel Perez, a young ex-military hothead with a tendency to act first and apologize later and Vanessa Frost, a former FBI agent with control issues that threaten Kaiser’s ability to pull the pieces of the investigation together at his own pace.
But once Kaiser and his team have identified the mastermind behind these gruesome killings, they uncover a deeper plot linked to an astonishing truth that slices backward from the volatile national presidential elections to the dawn of the nation’s history. What they find will rewrite the course of their investigation—and that of American history.

Bad men is a one-of-a-kind kind of book. And I know this is a cliché expression you might say about every book you finish, but no, trust me. It is that way not only because of the incredible precision you find in descriptions and analysis and feelings, or the unbelievable style in writing, or the maddening cliff-hangers, or the crazy actions and detours you come across every bloody time you think you might have understood what’s going on… but for the fascinating magnificent historical aspect that you find mixed with the amazing thriller and mystery that culminates over the entire story.
Moreover, what is even more interesting to experience is the fact that you get to penetrate the Mind of an investigator first hand; every detail he picks up, every tiny thing he perceives, all the deductions he makes even on his most “boring” subway ride, and last but not least his feelings.
Finally I would like to congratulate the brilliant Mastermind behind it all, Mr. Rayyan Dabbous who truly is an artist, a historian, and the greatest investigator MI6 and the CIA could ever dream of having.

Such a unique style in writing. The book leaves you in awe from the beginning till the end. Not only do you get to discover so many unnoticeable details about a country's social and political problems, but you also get very attached to the characters, as if you were experiencing what they're going through as well.
The plot is extremely well thought of and the surprise effect is present throughout the entire book which will keep you on the edge of your seat until the last word.
For all those of you who love a good thriller mixed to mind-blowing historical facts, this book is definitely a must for you.
