Reviewed by Roy T. James for Readers' Favorite

In Perception of Power by Bruce Thomason, Denise Adams, a small town mayor, is in love with a senator busy with his election prospects. Advised by his team that the present lady love is not a good fit for a presidential campaign, the senator is on the lookout for an escape from this relationship. And Clay, a commander of standing in the police department, happens to come on the wrong side of the senator while carrying out his duties. With powerful people attempting to derail their investigation at various points, the intrepid commander Clay Randall and his team of detectives chase a dangerous criminal across the country.

This is more than three hundred pages of nonstop thrills. The conspiracies leading to the crime, as well as the resulting investigation, are planned meticulously. This book is a page turner with an excellent narrative. The suspenseful nature of the drama is taken to its pinnacle with competence and efficiency by the backdrop of characters. With a flurry of side plots to add interesting twists and turns, this book is capable of engaging a reader completely. And the characters are well crafted; I sympathized with all of them, including the villains.
