Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
The Committee was a Featured Thriller for two months on Authorlink!
From the Author
I spent 15 years in Washington, DC as a lawyer and lobbyist where I obtained an insider's view of government and Senate investigators like John McAdams. The Committee is a work of fiction, but weaves together a series of disturbing facts.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A must read...,
This review is from: The Committee (Paperback)
I wasn't sure what to expect when I picked up The Committee...but after 30 pages, I couldn't put it down...not only is it one of the best thrillers I've read in years, but it's also a fantastic U.S. history lesson weaving together pre-Revolutionary War figures with Civil War and Civil Rights movement conspiracies...not since James Ellroy's American Tabloid has a novel delved so deeply into the underbelly of U.S. history, leaving one wondering where fiction ends and reality begins, and in the process allowing us to re-think the "true" motivations behind the founding of our country...this is a fabulous novel, history lesson, political tract, and all around thriller.

Rushing back and forth in time,
By Kimberly Crichton (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Committee (Paperback)
In THE COMMITTEE, P.M. Nugent uses primary sources about assassinations to weave a thriller of what might be and what might have been. It's both fascinating and horrific---especially when you read the sources at the back. Prepare yourself for blood and drama: the first death occurs in the first chapter. If you liked A CIVIL ACTION, you will tear through THE COMMITTEE.

Washington Politics + U.S. History = Great Thriller,
This review is from: The Committee (Paperback)
I couldn't put this book down! Here is a story that successfully weaves modern day politics with documented history. The end result is a well written, fast paced, plausible story that will have you intrigued from beginning to end. Anyone who enjoys a good thriller, who is interested in national politics, along with all of you U.S. history buffs, should read this book. It would also make a great movie!
