Jake Tapper's New Political Thriller

Jake Tapper of CNN has a new political thriller coming out soon. It's called "The Hellfire Club." From what I have seen of it, it deals with a host of political issues in the 1950s.  If you are inclined to read it, give my political thriller, "The China Connection" a chance also.  I think it will stack up quire well against Tapper's book.
