Rated 5 starsA definite 5-star thriller!
The First Counsel is one of the best books I have read in a long time.

Rated 5 starsMeltzer's Best Yet
I have read Mr. Meltzer's previous book, Dead Even, and was disappointed. That is why, with some trepidation, I decided to try his newest novel. I could not be more pleased. Meltzer has really grown as an author. He no longer goes for the cheap laugh or stunt and has created and intelligent,intricate, thriller that also takes you into the "backstage" of the White House.This is truly an enjoyable book and I highly recommend...
