Features & Highlights

  • In
  • House Divided
  • , fixer Joe DeMarco gets caught between two of the most powerful organizations in the world: the Pentagon and the National Security Agency.
  • One of Deadly Pleasures Mystery Magazine’s Best Thrillers of the Year Nominated for the 2012 Barry Award for Best Thriller
  • When the NSA was caught wiretapping U.S. citizens without warrants, a scandal erupted and the program came to a screeching halt. But the man who spearheaded the operation wasn’t about to sit by while his country sleepwalked into another 9/11. Instead, he moved the program into the shadows. So when the NSA records a rogue military group murdering two American civilians, they can’t walk over to the Pentagon and demand to know what’s going on. However, as the largest intelligence service in the country, both in money and manpower, they have plenty of options―mostly illegitimate. DeMarco learns all too well just what the NSA is capable of, but he doesn’t like being used, so he fights back.

Great Beltway Thriller

In his 6th thriller featuring Joe Demarco, author Mike Lawson moves his main character to the role of supporting actor, as the real story features an entirely new cast of characters and situations. When some authors, like Stephen White, move the action away from their leading character the story can fall flat. Fortunately for Lawson, he has a good enough sense of story that even with DeMarco serving a smaller role long-time readers will still be caught up in a terrific Beltway thriller pitting one security agency against another branch of our government. This is a page turner of the highest caliber, and is sure to keep you flipping the pages.
