I'm reading a political thriller by Pat Riley called "Executive Deception." It's based on research drawn from real life characters and takes readers on a wild ride through the streets of Miami, the jungles of Columbia, and the hallowed halls of Capitol Hill. Riley gets inside the heads of those willing to stop at nothing in their rise to power. The main character, Brian O'Brien, is a cop's cop who fights against all odds to bring justice to light. Riveting, engaging, and smart.
