It was late Saturday in upstate New York, a perfect early summer evening on Skaneateles Lake and not the place one would expect to receive tragic news. Read the first page

I was a little disappointed in this latest from Tim Green. It was a little dry and not highly believable.
Kurt Ford is an ex Secret Service agent that used to protect Carter and Reagan. He is now a billionaire and founder of Safe-Tech, a very successful high-tech company. When his son, also a Secret Service agent, is found with a bullet in his head, Kurt is absolutely devastated. The police believe it was suicide and don't intend to put any time in on the investigation. Kurt knows for a fact it was murder. He goes to an acquaintance of his who is working for the Secret Service and tries to get his help in getting information (This friend is also the man whom Kurt did not want working for him in his new company). With information this man gives him, Kurt is convinced that the president is responsible for his son's death. So Kurt decides to kill the president.
While a lot of the book deals with the emotional issues between Kurt and his fiancé, brought on by his son's death, some of the story deals in suspense. I felt the story was too predictable. From the beginning I knew who was behind the murders and that made the whole story frustrating. Kurt's gullibility didn't help. I've read all Tim Green's books and this is my least favorite...

The Fourth Perimeter
28 Jan 2002
Format:Hardcover
The author has created an interesting, intriguing storyline. The action and drama sustain a decent pace. It's unfortunate that a fair amount of dialogue and supporting descriptions of characters' expressions and reactions read like the work of a writer still considerably unskilled at creating characters with credible words and behaviors. Some of the metaphors used to dramatize the story's actions were simply silly instead of serious.

Shame on me!!

I kept hoping it would get better - perhaps the characters would develop... perhaps there was a great twist in the plot. No such luck. The story is weak, the characters weaker and the "twist" was laughable!
