Quantico Rules

Written by Gene Riehl

Narrated by David Colacci

This thriller by an ex-FBI agent about a Supreme Court nominee and a high-level cover-up is “a must-read” (Harlan Coben).

FBI agent Puller Monk and his Special Inquiries (SPIN) squad figure their latest assignment—a background check on the 1st 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 3-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).

Reviews for Quantico Rules

[Louise Hamilton · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Very good story and interesting character. The repetition of his character flaw of gambling got predictable and boring. The sex scene might be appreciated by an adolescent boy, but probably not by adults.
This character and his inside into the working of the FBI, and the federal government looked to have a lot of potential. I plan to try the next one in the series just in case it fills that potential.

Part of Puller Monk's duties on the Special Inquiries FBI team is background checks on government appointees. The check on the first black woman Supreme Court Justice was about done and had been rather smooth sailing until they hit a bump and suddenly things get way more than tricky. This is a first novel and it is wonderful! The second one is due out in March and I can't wait.
