Davy Clough, investigative reporter for The Capital Review, has just been found dead in a motel room bathtub. A suicide note is discovered, so the local sheriff and the medical examiner conclude he committed suicide. At least, that’s the published story. Michael Saville, an FBI field agent, isn’t convinced. Clough claimed to Saville that he had uncovered a conspiracy at the highest level of the US government and that his life was in danger, so Saville wants to investigate Clough’s death. In The Judas Saints by Keith M. Spence, two more public servants are also declared dead by self-inflicted wounds. Saville discovers a connection between these three deaths, and it appears to be a software product named SAINTS. US Park Police Sergeant Lowri Pritchard doesn’t buy the suicide angle either when her team discovers the body of a White House Deputy Counsel. Saville and Pritchard unofficially combine forces to uncover the truth, even though it leads them to the highest levels of the US government.
The Judas Saints: A Novel of Political Intrigue by Keith M. Spence is a spellbinding thriller that moves at breakneck speed. While suicide is a dominant theme, the well-crafted plot includes government corruption, military clandestine operations, conspiracies, betrayal, and political intrigue. The author excels at creatively interweaving several plotlines and characters. Villains and heroes alike are presented with enough depth to be not only interesting but believable. The two reluctant heroes, Saville and Pritchard, captured my interest right away, and the scenes involving their fight with the main villain are intense. This book would make a great television series.
