Pike Island: A Thriller | Tony Wirt
4 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
From the bestselling author of Just Stay Away comes a haunting thriller about a rising politician whose shadowy past threatens to end his career--and his future shot at the presidency. What happens at the cabin stays at the cabin. Right? Andrew Harrison "Harry" Leonard is destined for politics. Getting his start on the Rochester City Council, he quickly rose to become the youngest representative in Congress. Now the up-and-comer from Minnesota is on the brink of something big. If all goes well, he'll be in perfect position to aim for the presidency. Then a postcard arrives, blank except for the name on the address: Andy Leonard. Harry hasn't used that name since high school. Krista Walsh, Harry's chief of staff, recognizes his old moniker, and when he dodges questions about it, she wonders what he's trying to hide. She soon discovers the lake pictured on the postcard holds secrets too. Krista's investigation into Harry's past uncovers the truth of what happened one fateful teenage summer. But as disturbing details come to light, how far will Krista go to keep Harry's career--and her own--headed to the top?

This one was a super quick vacation read. Something in a young politician‘s past haunts him, and his chief of staff is determined to find out what. A thriller, but with nothing graphic or too scary. Definitely predictable elements, but still enjoyable. I like the exploration of what drives peoples‘ motives and where power comes from. Entertaining, even if it is forgettable.
