Executive Deception

by Pat Riley

Brian O'Brien, a Miami police sergeant, becomes an inadvertent hero while saving a man and his daughter in a canal car accident. The man is a politician, Carlos Luis Bentincore, who is favored to become the next president of Colombia, South America. The grateful candidate bonds with his rescuer and young family, but O'Brien's celebrated moment in the spotlight is short lived. The "accident" was in reality an assassination attempt. Bentincore is the target of a sinister White House scheme to place a puppet government into the Colombian presidency. The feds objective now is to use O'Brien to damage Bentincore's character and keep him from winning the election. They will stop at nothing; O'Brien is imprisoned on bogus charges and his relationship with Bentincore draws him into a web intrigue that involves eco-terrorism, sexual seduction and the abduction of powerful federal officials. While incarcerated O'Brien realizes he must save himself. He escapes from federal prison armed only with his determination and a plan to expose those framing him.

Could not get past the atrocious spelling and grammar, This is no author, more like a lame high school student.

This book had a very good plot and story line. The writing, however, is awful. In addition to numerous spelling and grammatical errors (that may have been due to auto-correct), the sentences were mainly simple structure, reading much like a First Reader book. I was about ready to pitch the book aside about 10% into it, but plodded along to the finish. Writing aside, the underlying plot and concern for the protagonist was enough to keep this reader interested.

A thrilling read on a snowy day

Great book,with a pace that just keeps you reading..can't wait for his next one but guess I have too..as well written if not more so of most action thrillers on market and a buck is a price that can't be beat.
