The Point Guard [Paperback]

Edwin Sprague (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 22, 2007

When legal loopholes keep Tina Lane’s vicious killers from facing trial, her husband Mike Lane wants only one thing—justice. In a lengthy and valiant quest to avenge his only love, he composes a stunning document that has the potential to dramatically alter the very core of the American judicial system.

Lane relies on his client, Senator Jeff Wheatly, to help him further his work. But when the envious senator presents Lane’s work to the president as his own, Lane finds himself in grave danger. As the senator struggles for control of Lane’s document and the power it could bring, he finds that nothing is out of the question—not even murder. And, with unlimited resources at his disposal, the president himself is just as willing to cross all lines in order to gain control of the most powerful tool in modern legal history.

The CIA, the Secret Service, the IRS, the Philadelphia Police Department, and the Senate Ethics Committee all investigate the senator and his connection to multiple shocking deaths, and each organization finds that it has a vested interest in the success of Lane’s radical plan.

In the end, nothing is spared.

Not love. Not life. Not law.

Be prepared to read this book in one sitting or over a weekend. It's tough to put down once you start reading.

Whether you agree with it or not, the Point Guard system developed by the main character, Mike Lane, is an interesting idea. In the book, it acts almost as the "Macguffin" around which all the action centers. There is murder, mystery, romance, political intrigue even a great local setting for those of us in the Philadelphia area. You can't help but turn the page to see just exactly this thing resolves itself or does it really end at all? You'll have to read it yourself to find out.

Congratulations to Mr. Sprague on a great first novel. While it's still fairly new on the shelves, I have a feeling The Point Guard will be earning points through word of mouth and will soon be the talk of the town. Order your copy today...it's a great read.

This review is from: The Point Guard (Paperback)

I truly enjoyed reading The Point Guard! There were many unexpected twists and turns in the plot which held my interest throughout the book. It contained mystery, suspence, surprise, along with a touch of romance. It was an interesting plot which was written in a way that I found myself anxious to see what was going to happen next - and I never guessed it right! Being from Philadelphia, I also enjoyed some of the references made to the city. Excellent book!!
