The Patriots Club: a novel by Christopher Reich

First-rate novel, October 16, 2005 ****


Reich has written another intriguing thriller. This intricately plotted novel revolves around a conspiracy at the highest levels of government and Washington society, a Patiot Club that dates back to the earliest days of the American republic. Thomas Bolden becomes enmeshed in a series of events that put him on the run from unknown forces who seek to murder him. The novel suffers somewhat from too many twists and turns and an ending that seems contrived to make everything fit together. Despite this it's one of the best novels I've read recently.
