It is June 17th, 1972, and Tom Delaney is working late at his office in the Watergate Building in Washington, DC. When he discovers a number of men breaking into the office next to his, paranoia (born from his involvement with the mob) makes him think that the break-in is happening at the wrong office. Why would anyone want to break into the Democratic Party headquarters? Delaney is certain that they were after the money and cocaine stashed under his desk. As time passes, he learns that the break-in was indeed targeted at the right office. The events of 1972 continue to unfold, spelling trouble for nearly everyone in the Nixon White House. Delaney, on the other hand, watches his business grow. In the middle of adding new accounts to his CPA firm, he runs into an old girlfriend and slowly rekindles their relationship. Unfortunately, one of the new deals he makes goes sour and he becomes the target of a vicious group of thugs. Everyone around him is suddenly in danger.
Michael J. Tucker, the author of Capricorn’s Collapse, skillfully takes us back to 1972, with talk of the Watergate Hearings, the PLO, the IRA, and the unforgettable music of the day. Although nostalgic, the pace of the story is fast and accelerates toward the exciting climax. The main characters are from the seedier side of life, but we can’t help rooting for them to survive and go on. I enjoyed reading this book very much and would recommend it to anyone who likes a story that weaves fiction into a tapestry of real events.
