THE BOOK OF FATE—Brad Meltzer—Multiple plots and sub-plots drive a large cast of well drawn characters (each for their own reasons) to answer questions which arose eight years before when a friend of and advisor to the President was shot at a NASCAR event. An aide to the President, Wes, was permanently disfigured at that time and the dead man's reappearance eight years later brings the grim memories back as well as the need to resolve the mysteries. Author Brad Meltzer's research has paid handsome dividends as this fiction rings true. The Miami Herald says of him, “Meet the next John Grisham”.
