Description
This thriller by an ex-FBI agent about a Supreme Court nominee and a high-level cover-up is “a must-read” (Harlan Coben).
FBI agent Puller Monk and his Special Inquiries (SPIN) squad figure their latest assignment—a background check on the 1st African American female Supreme Court nominee—will be a routine investigation. But when verifying information about Federal Judge Brenda Thompson, it becomes clear that she’s lying about a 3-week gap in her past that occurred between college and law school. Her old roommate could provide answers, but she’s missing.
Soon, Monk has a dead body on his hands, and he and Special Agent Lisa Sands are plunged into a maelstrom of deceit, corruption, and murder that reaches the highest levels of government. Monk is determined to blow the lid off a massive cover-up, but he may not be able to contain the fallout as the truth starts to emerge. Amid escalating violence, the FBI agent orchestrates a sting that will force a killer from the shadows—a cunning adversary who has his own plan for taking out Monk.
With “engaging characters [and] a racing plot” (Houston Chronicle), this suspenseful read offers both an authentic portrayal of the world of national security and a high-tension story of corruption and murder. “The author, a former FBI agent, writes like a pro, and this is one of those thrillers you genuinely wish wouldn’t end” (Booklist, starred review).

Longtime FBI agent Puller Monk carries more personal baggage than an Amtrak train in this convincing thriller from debut novelist Riehl. Monk is the director of the SPIN (Special Inquiries) Squad, tasked with completing an exhaustive background check on Judge Brenda Thompson, the first African-American woman nominated to the Supreme Court. Monk is also shouldering a serious gambling addiction, a girlfriend who's a drunk and an Alzheimer's-addled father he detests. Monk's tyrannical FBI boss, Kevin Finnerty, last of the old Hoover disciples, wants the Thomson report on his desk ASAP, but there's a problem. Special Agent Lisa Sands has uncovered a lie on Judge Thompson's SF-86, the personal security questionnaire submitted by all nominees. Monk's immediate impulse is to turn to gambling, but Sands convinces him to investigate the judge's lie. They are quickly drawn into a complicated conspiracy that threatens their lives, results in three murders and leads to treachery in the uppermost levels of the bureau. Car chases, beatings and gun battles ensue. Meanwhile, the nursing home that takes care of Monk's father is threatening to kick the old man out unless Monk pays his overdue bill. His solution? Place a few bets, which he invariably loses. Riehl writes a lean, vigorous prose laced with self-deprecating humor, and as an ex-FBI man he fuels his story with fascinating insider details. He's a little weak in the romance department, but readers will skim those sections, racing ahead to the next example of agent expertise. And since the conclusion finds Monk with most of his personal problems perishing, a sequel looks likely. (Aug.)Forecast:Riehl's flawed but determined G-man should shake some of the rust off the FBI thriller genre. Readers will be clamoring for more from Agent Puller Monk.
