CAPITOL THREAT

Ben Kincaid is finally married and just starting his career as the senator appointed to the position for Oklahoma. The President is coming to visit Oklahoma City and Ben, in his new role, is invited to meet him and speak at the event. A terrible tragedy occurs and once again, Oklahoma City is in the midst of a killing spree. As a result, Ben is asked to champion a new constitutional amendment that will increase the powers of the presidency and national security. Normally, Ben is a liberal and would never agree to such a measure but the assassination attempt nearly took his life and did take others. A shaken Ben is thinking that he should support the amendment. It takes the help of his wife, Christina, and the rest of his staff to figure out what is behind the recent killings.

I am a fan of the Ben Kincaid series and it is great that he finally married Christina. As with some of Bernhardt's books, his political views are very clear and at times nearly preachy. There was a great mystery going on behind all the politicking, so I was glad that I read the book and I'll be ready for the next chapter in Ben Kincaid's story.

Rating - 4 stars
