Following his international thriller Elixir (2004), Bunn offers a police procedural centering on rookie FBI agent Matt Kelly, the son of a Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate. Before he can congratulate himself on the completion of his training, Matt walks into a bombing in which his mother is killed. Was it right-wing extremists, missing their real target? Bunn's setup results in a fast-paced tale along the lines of the film Enemy of the State, even to the inclusion of a dangerous renegade agent a la Gene Hackman. And like that movie, when you peel away all the layers, you won't find much. But Dunn's police banter is dead-on, and he knows the backstreets of Washington as well as anyone.
