Samantha Reid, the brilliant Director of the White House Office of Homeland Security, is enjoying a rare evening away from Washington at a Florida charity ball when a bomb sends the well-heeled attendees stampeding into the night. Narrowly escaping the blast, Reid returns to the White House, where she has been trailing the massacres and illicit arms sales of a shadowy group of Russian oligarchs... all of whom want her dead. Caught in an ever-tightening spiral of lies and ruthless hitmen, Reid must race the clock against her assassins. But she's not alone. When FBI special agent Brett Keating discovers Samantha was the target of the Florida bomb, he resolves to protect her, while also unravelling a brazen plot that threatens the lives of international financial leaders and stock markets worldwide.

Reviews for Trust But Verify

[Jerry Taylor · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

As for me, I thought the book was well written, relatively easy to follow (especially while multitasking), and kept an even flow of associated events in check with the plot line. The narration was precise and not only added character, but made no noticeable mispronunciations or 'stalls' during the recording. Great series in my humble opinion!
