Backchannel intel points Joe DeMarco in the direction of a possible double agent in the latest pulse-pounding thriller from Edgar and Barry Award finalist Mike Lawson, starring his beloved Washington, DC, troubleshooter.

In the middle of the night, on a winding road in a suburb outside of Washington, DC, a homeless veteran is killed in a hit-and-run—a tragedy that barely catches the attention of the media and police.

Days later, John Mahoney, the former Speaker of the House, is confronted by Diane Lake, an ex-CIA agent turned political researcher with a knack for digging up unsavory intelligence on some of DC’s biggest players. Diane is there with a gift for Mahoney: the news that Lydia Chang, the wife of one of his biggest rivals, might be working undercover as a Chinese agent.

Knowing it’s too early to get the FBI involved, Mahoney does the only thing left to do. He calls in Joe DeMarco.

DeMarco might not have the title of political researcher, but he’s no stranger to digging up dirt either. As DeMarco starts his investigation, he soon learns there’s a lot more going on than Mahoney suspected, and instead of answers, all he finds are more questions. Who’s the mysterious man Lydia Chang has been meeting in the park? Does Diane Lake have an ulterior motive? And why does everything point back to a random hit-and-run?

Kritikerstimmen

"The plot is a solid gold thriller that will keep listeners engaged."
"Narrator Joe Barrett turns his many years of experience with this character into a finely honed performance in the latest Joe DeMarco thriller. DeMarco is a fixer for his employer, former Speaker of the House John Mahoney, and Barrett’s easy rhythm and slightly hoarse delivery give him the aura of a seasoned Mafia consigliere. Barrett enlivens all the key players in this intricate cat-and-mouse story. Standouts in his capable narration include Mahoney’s Irish lilt; the nasal twang of the wife of one of Mahoney’s rivals, who is suspected of delivering secrets to the Chinese; and the arrogance of the ex-CIA agent who tips off Mahoney to the intrigue."
