A governor's naiveté about his vulnerability, an inexperienced bodyguard, and the murderous acts of a band of zealous extremists pose an unprecedented challenge to the Missouri State Highway Patrol and an agent whose life is placed on the line. A first novel.
Had the pleasure of meeting the author for lunch, along with my friend Van Riehl. I really enjoyed the book, all the more so because I was familiar with some of the characters.
Taylor isn't Nelson Demille, but he is a pretty good story teller. His time in the Missouri Highway Patrol lends an aura of authenticity to the book his detailed description of the books events were a real pleasure to read.
Looking forward to his next one, due out any time.
