Sweepers

This was a little out of my league with all the military lingo. It wasn't too heavy though so I was able to follow. I enjoyed this book and actually thought this was a pretty good audio version. I'm not usually one to listen to audio books since I'd rather read the whole book (this one is abridged) allowing me to use my own imagination and keep my own pace. I was actually surprised at Dick Hill's talent. He did a pretty good job with this one. I especially liked the sound effects making phone calls and radio transitions sound accurate.

This story starts out with the death of young woman. The death appeared to be accidental but things were just too clean leaving some lingering questions. They called in her past boyfriend, Pentagon Admiral Sherman, to question him “unofficially” so as to avoid an embarrassing problem. The fact that the woman had a large life insurance police on her payable to Sherman rose some eyebrows. Then, another death..... by heart attack with another reference to Sherman. More questions. More doubts about this Sherman. This story layers on more military departments and confusing double talk.

Navy Commander Karen Lawrence is assigned to review the case. She teams up with NIS civilian investigator named “Train” von Rensel to try to get around all the layers of bureaucratic tape and find out what is really going on.
