This totally fun 70s thriller delivers a no-frills suspense showdown between a criminal mastermind holding the U.S. president hostage on the Golden Gate Bridge and an undercover FBI agent with no equipment, weapons, or hope…at first. Once the battle of wits commences, the carefully contained plot hums like a precision motor. The author knows and clearly relishes the rules of the game and a dollop of snarky satire adds to the fun.
