The President's Shadow by Brad Meltzer

The Inner Circle was the last Brad Meltzer book I read. I recommended it and I recommend this book as well.   Beecher White, an archivist in the National Archives, is back as the main protagonist.   As in the last book, the book is fraught with treachery, political intrigue, questionable ethics and secret societies.    Someone is out to gut the President or the Culper Ring or both. 

Beecher White is chasing demons, so internal and some external.   Beecher is driven by an unquenched thirst for information about his deceased father and tasked with leading a secret society pledged to protect a President he can't respect. 

The secondary characters are as colorful and demented as an LSD fueled nightmare.   Bizarre circumstances and a pointed reference to despicable government experiments provide a tense environment for the story.

This was fast paced and intricate.  Meltzer also does a very nice job tying up all the loose ends.

I recommend it.
