From a book review.

Christiansen was once a Capitol Hill staffer like the book's protagonist, and her knowledge of Washington's political culture shines through brightly. In addition, the author keeps the novel's pace dizzying, delivering nearly constant action. But the intricate story is wildly implausible and often confusing.

From me, so far, lots of DC sights and sounds from the 80's and 90's. still working my way through this
