House Rules

Panic grips Washington, DC, in this thriller featuring "a lightning-paced plot [and] a charmingly likeable character" (Tess Gerritsen).

Author of House Witness, 2019 Edgar Award Finalist for Best Novel

Two foiled terrorist attacks and a law targeting Muslim Americans are about to send Joe DeMarco on a dangerous mission among mobsters, meth dealers, and the political elite.

First there was the bomb meant for the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel. Then a private plane headed straight for the White House is shot down. An atmosphere of fear and panic overruns the country, and when a senator proposes to run extensive background checks on all Muslims and deport any who aren't citizens, his bill gains surprising traction. John Mahoney, the larger-than-life Speaker of the House, is not pleased. But Mahoney has a connection to one of the attackers, one he wants kept secret. So he calls on Joe DeMarco . . .

"Full of insider information, this novel reinforces Lawson's place in the upper rank of Washington thriller specialists." —Publishers Weekly
