Quantico Rules

This thriller by an ex-FBI agent about a Supreme Court nominee and a high-level cover-up is "a must-read" (Harlan Coben). "Full of high-tension, intrigue . . . a thriller that is good till the last page." —Michael Connelly FBI agent Puller Monk and his Special Inquiries (SPIN) squad figure their latest assignment—a background check on the first 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 three-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). "Sharply written, expertly plotted, and full of the kind of fascinating nuggets that can only be mined from actual experience." —Chicago Tribune
