Jack McEvoy, writer for the L.A. Times and Rachel Walling of the FBI are together again. Remember them from "The Poet"?
This book, mostly narrated by Jack, has a little too much stuff about Jack as a reporter and the way the print medium is going down the tubes in 2009. He's been canned by the paper, and has to retrain a young woman as his replacement.
One of the villains makes contact with McEvoy, a device we've seen before. Jack wants to get embedded in the FBI investigation, but they're not having any of that nonsense which of course isolates him and forces him to go it alone with Rachel's assistance.
Jack beds Rachel Walling twice. Not much detail.
