Product Description

Selected as a Semifinalist in The Kindle Book Review's Best Indie Books of 2012 Contest

What is the United States government concealing in 28 classified pages of the 9/11 Commission Report?

Who are they protecting?

Why are they doing it?

Heather Grahl, a young Washington, D.C. lawyer, receives a call one morning bearing devastating news: police in the Bahamas discovered her sister's decapitated body. With no apparent suspects or motive, the authorities offer little help in solving the crime.

Determined to find her sister's killers, Heather sacrifices her career and risks her life pursuing the murderers. Through her investigation, she uncovers evidence linking the Saudi Arabian Ambassador to the U.S. to the gruesome killing and learns of a shocking Saudi conspiracy against the United States that her sister died trying to expose. Together with a mysterious ally, Heather races to reveal the deadly Saudi conspiracy before she shares her sister's fate.

Inspired by true events.

4.0 out of 5 stars A TRUE political thriller 7 Mar 2012
By Sarah Burns
Format:Kindle Edition
28 Pages is billed as a `political thriller' and it certainly is. The book follows Heather Grahl, a young DC lawyer who is investigating the Saudi Ambassador who has been accused of abusing young girls. She takes a phone call telling her that her sister has been murdered, and the regular recurring theme is that `The Saudis' keep appearing in her discussions.

The book takes the backdrop of the 28 redacted pages of the September 11th Commission Report and discusses the links to Saudi Arabia. There are many conspiracy theories out there and it would seem from reading Mitchum's biography on Amazon that this book was borne out from Mitchum's views of the events of September 11th, and theories surrounding the involvements of Saudi Arabia.

The story is fast paced and unrelenting, and holds together well. It kept me thoroughly engrossed throughout with credible bad guys and well plotted scenes. There weren't any plot twists and turns that shocked or surprised me, but it did read like a novel from an accomplished author.

This book deals with controversial and sensitive topics, and at times I felt uncomfortable with the way that Islam and the Saudi's were presented. It felt at times that the author had an agenda, and now that I have read the biography, I can see that Mitchum subscribes to some of the theories he presents in this book. There are references to Islamic groups that I found uncomfortable, and instead of the epilogue at the end (that to be honest I couldn't see the link to) I'd have rather seen a chapter on the theories of the Saudi involvement in September 11th, and a list of web address, books or articles where the reader could go to find out more information about Wahhabism or the NIPF.

That said, this is a fiction book and a good read at that. It will certainly keep any reader engrossed with it's superb narrative.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eye-Opening 30 Dec 2011
By John J. Strauchs - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
28 Pages held me hostage by page three and I didn't escape until several hours after the last page was turned. It is a literary thriller, at least as good as any Grisham novel and better than most, especially those spawned in ghost-writer factories. I spent time in the Kingdom and worked in Intel. Mitchum's novel resonates like a Stradivarious. Don't believe in Wahhabism? Drive your rental car into Medina and see how long you last. I highly recommend this eye-opening novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Debut Thriller 12 Jan 2012
By Joseph M. Walsh Jr. - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am an avid reader of thrillers having read all of the books by Vince Flynn, Brad Thor, Daniel Silva, and Alex Berenson. While Allen Mitchum is not yet in their class, his first thriller is a great read. I read it through in one sitting. The main characters are well-drawn and you root for them to succeed. The "bad guys" are credibly threatening. My only criticism is that I was not quite sure of the motivation of "Fadi". I may have just missed it due to my anxiety to find out what happened next. I eagerly await his second book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A provocative & timely Political Thriller. 29 Nov 2011
By Gerald Meunier - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
In an edge-of-your-seat political thriller, author Allen Mitchum catapults you through a conspiracy so provocative and timely, you'll never see Saudi Arabia in the same light again. Could the U.S. government be hiding the truth about the Kingdom from us? In 28 Pages, apparently they are. While investigating her sister's gruesome murder, Washington, D.C. lawyer, Heather Grahl, discovers a shocking connection to a Saudi secret concealed from the American public in 28 redacted pages of the 9/11 Commission Report. If Heather doesn't find the incriminating evidence hidden by her sister, her career and her life will be over, too. If you enjoy page-turning thrillers, then read Allen Mitchum's 28 Pages.
