This is the third Nora Carleton and Benny Dugan police procedural by James Comey and by far the best as it takes the reader down the rabbit hole of right wing conspiracy theorists before posing the question of how responsible should they be if their followers attack, kill or main people whose views they do not agree with.

The by play between the two main characters is as sharp as ever and their private loves are also well explored.

Comey's deep first hand knowledge of the workings of the various competing departments within homeland security also comes to the fore and make this an informed as well as exciting read which combines internal politics, legal ethics, action and courtroom drama.

Highly recommended.
