Empire of Lies, by Andrew Klavan
By Peter on Jun 24, 2009 in Andrew Klavan, Thriller, bestseller, book review
Edgar-winner Andrew Klavan’s Empire of Lies (see also his True Crime) is a strange but appealing book. It is a thriller, but it is also a pretty wicked 
And then he becomes involved in something what just makes it even harder, perhaps totally impossible. The past starts to spill more or less freely into his present. His former lover needs him and calls him back to New York City. His teenage daughter is mixed up with terrorists. So we meet Islamists, charismatic professors and murder, as well as a grand terrorist conspiracy that only Jason can prevent.
Empire of Lies is very entertaining and exciting. And the climax is just stunning. My only complaint is the prevalence of cheap political shots in the book. But if you want to be entertained and provoked, or can overlook the author’s political messages – this may be just it!
