Format:Paperback
I was drawn to Mike Lawson by a quote on one of his other books; "If you like Lee Child, you'll love Mike Lawson"
I would probably describe it the other way round. I do love Child's character Reacher, however Joe Demarco isn't quite on the same level. The writing isn't as punchy and the suspense wasn't the same.
The Inside Ring is a good book and I would recommend it. The characters develop well throughout the plot. Give it a go

Format:Paperback
"The Inside Ring" starts with a thrilling attack on a US President, then follows the efforts of tough guy Joe DeMarco to find the assassins against a background of Washington power brokers. The structure of the book is curious: half political thriller, half crime novel, as Joe, helped by implausible tough-woman-with-a-past Emma, travels to Georgia to uncover a conspiracy. Some of the scrapes Joe gets into are a bit hackneyed, and the climax is disappointing. But on the way, the writing is lively and the plot twists unexpected.
Summary: original, engaging thriller with a few weaknesses.

Inside Ring by Mike Lawson. Not a bad little read, fast pace, not too heavy.
Would probably read more from this author.
