A secrurity system I could get behind

I'm currently reading HIDDEN ORDER by Brad Thor. This is 11th of 11 in series featuring Scot Harvath, an ex-Navy Seal, Secret Service agent, and counter-terrorism operative working all over the world. Here is a description:

The most secretive organization in America operates without any accountability to the American people. Hiding in the shadows, pretending to be part of the United States government, its power is beyond measure. Control of this organization has just been lost and the future of the nation thrust into peril. When the five candidates being considered to head this mysterious agency suddenly go missing, covert counterterrorism operative Scot Harvath is summoned to Washington and set loose on the most dangerous chase ever to playout on American soil. But as the candidates begin turning up murdered, the chase becomes an all-too-public spectacle, with every indicator suggesting that the plot has its roots in a shadowy American cabal founded in the 1700s. With the United States on the verge of collapse, Harvath must untangle a web of conspiracy centuries in the making and head off the greatest threat America has ever seen.

It was published July 2013 and has 384 pages. This is from the library. I've not read Thor's books before but this is about the Federal Reserve which interests me.  And that is "Federal" as in Federal Express. This is an independent agency that has astronomical power under no oversight or authority. So far, there's a lot of telling and now showing in the writing but it doesn't prevent me from reading it. Yet.

Storms today, wasted at work. Bah.

Much love,
