Publisher Description
A White House Secret Service agent has been blown away by a masked gunman. A neo-Nazi group has taken credit, but Special Agent Pete Garrison fears it's more than a warning shot delivered by extremists. An informant claims the group has one of its own in the W.H. A blackmailer has photos of Garrison in an affair with the First Lady, evidence that gives Garrison the perfect motive for murder.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Former Secret Service agent Gerald Petievich (Money Men) describes the daily grind of protecting the President with meticulous care in The Sentinel. Unfortunately, his plot isn't quite as credible. Special Agent Pete Garrison suspects that the neo-Nazi Aryan Disciples have positioned one of their own in the White House, but his investigation is cut short by a blackmailer who knows of his affair with the First Lady and tries to frame him for murder. Though he is officially relieved of his duties, Garrison doesn't stop trying to prove his innocence and save the president's life. Relying on heavy dialogue, Petievich glosses over many details in an effort to keep the action hopping. Although the book's one plot thread is compelling, the story would have benefited from greater dimension.
Customer Reviews
The sentinel
Enormous number of syntax and spelling errors - outrageous plot
Different and Better Than His Others
While his other Treasury and FBI agents books are gritty pulpy page turners, they’ve nearly indistinguishable plots and characters: Hardened, weary but honorable veteran agents, willing to use the hardened seedy violent criminals’ tactics against them to make the case in a context of a lazy inefficient and often corrupt bureaucracies. The Sentinel reads like their mature sibling: sophisticated, suspenseful and sufficiently unpredictable to get the reader’s heart pounding.
Praise for Gerald Petievich
