"Getting Even

Wow. This book is really good. It goes to show that it is not safe to trust anyone in DC. Just keep your friends close and your enemies closer."

"The Slate by veteran political novelist Matthew Fitzsimmons contains the topical drama of today's and the past: political machinations, misery, and corruption. Twenty years ago, Agatha C. was told by her boss to eradicate and make a typical Washington, D.C. scandal disappear. She does so successfully, and all is quiet until now when blackmail rears its inevitable ugly head. The Slate is an exciting and realistic story of politics, greed, lust, and temptation. The novel is for all, especially political junkies who will eagerly immerse themselves in this fascinating and true-to-life story of what makes the wheels go around in the U.S.A."

"Well-paced political thriller with interesting characters, great dialogue, and a few twists that took me by surprise. I loved the Gibson Vaughn series and the Constance books. Hopefully this is the start of another solid series. Matthew FitzSimmons doesn't disappoint."
