Genre: Political Thriller
Click book cover for Amazon.com
When Senator Lombard's fourteen year old daughter goes missing, and no one can claim the ten million dollar reward, murder is the most likely conclusion.  Ten years later, the former head of Senator Lombard's security team comes to hacker extraordinaire, Gibson Vaughn and asks him to help solve the mystery.  The Senator's daughter, Suzanne Lombard, had been one of Gibson's closest friends, and he agrees to help.  Of course there is bad blood between the then Senator, now Vice President, and the hacker who hacked into his personal information years ago.  Throw in a presidential campaign for Lombard, and you know you will have an interesting ride.

The story is a good one and kept me interested throughout. I tend to like political thrillers, especially if the characterizations are well done.  FitzSimmons did a good job on his character development, giving the reader a feel for each character, good or bad.

This smartly plotted novel mixes murder, politics and technology and comes up with a story that I am happy to recommend.
