The White House by Sean Christopher Book Review


 

I received a gifted copy and am providing a review. (Picture provided by author.)

Do you like political intrigue? Then this book might just be for you!

Dominic Colletti, FBI agent, dad to Vanessa and Ashley, husband to Candy. Partner to Vasquez.

Current president, Randall Scott, up for re-election. Presidential hopeful, Alex Hamilton. Not only are each of these men dealing with campaign issues, they also both have troubled relationships in their personal lives, advisors and campaign managers who think they know best.

There’s an incident at Yale University that happened just after Dominic dropped Vanessa off, not having the best of goodbyes. He has to go back to Yale to find out what happened. He finds himself confronting the officer in charge, which does not turn out well for Colletti, and in the end he goes out on his own. Vasquez, as always, has his back. Dominic finds himself in all sorts of situations. The other thing behind the Yale incident is the kidnapping of three students and one professor, one of the students being Vanessa. The other two students who were taken came from moneyed families, so the question of this incident being money driven is ever present. And the professor? You’ll have to read the book to find out why.

I normally don’t read political “thrillers,” but this one was quite interesting with all the other stories intertwined … from the Yale incident, the dysfunctional family relationships, the it-really-could-happen scenarios, the mysterious notes, the past history that connects the bad guys, the greed. I was most intrigued with Dominic and Vanessa’s story. A difficult relationship for sure, but a dad who just wants to find his daughter and a daughter who wants her dad to find her.

If you are looking for a new author in the political thriller genre, give Mr. Christopher a try.
