Book Reviews of Backfire
Book Review: Fictional People-Real Settings
Summary: 3 Stars
Much of the content of this book is set in SW MO in real towns-from St Louis to Aurora-Branson to Shell Knob. The author has researched his setting and placed a key location-a horse and cattle ranch-just a couple of miles from a place where I grew up. While there are errors in his local descriptions, the events of his book could have taken place.
Summary of Backfire
In 1963, a beautiful young girl dies in the middle of an abortion on a cold table in a motel room. The cover-up is quick, quiet and -- for almost thirty years -- worth every penny. Now it's 1991. At the dawn of a presidential campaign, the old secret suddenly surfaces. To one man it means enormous profit. To a second man it means a lethal mystery. When the stakes are high, there are no loyalties and no rules -- even for top-level U.S. government agents. Especially for them.Contemporary Books
