Small Spiders, by J.T. Conroe is a political story told from a unique prospective.  The author takes us back to the years of President Nixon, Watergate, and various other plots that occurred out of the public eye.  Some of the characters are fictional, but the events are a part of history.  Mark David Chapman, Arthur Bremer, James Earl Ray, Sirhan Sirhan are some familiar names.  What is not known is what, or rather who, was really responsible for their actions.Michele Clark is a reporter determined to expose government corruption.  The story is told from a narrator’s point of view; although it takes a while to realize the identity of the person.  Corruption travels to the very top government level with twists and turns in between.  Michele risks her life to uncover a secret operation that revolves around assassins and every time she gets close, she is shut down.  Follow Michelle as she goes above and beyond reporting and begins to investigate areas that are better left alone.  Samantha is a pretty blond, Artie is an innocent pawn, and Dennis seems to have it all.  What is the connection between these three and how do they relate to small spiders?The plot unfolds slowly and surprisingly.  Artie finds himself manipulated to do things and he is totally unaware of his own actions.  Dennis tries to help but they both underestimate Samantha’s power.  We get a glimpse of the real possibilities behind Watergate, the Kennedy assassinations, murders, and cover-ups.  Michele Clark wanted to tell the truth to the American public about the real dealings behind the scenes and remains determined despite threats to her life.  Everybody seems to have secret connections and there may or may not be any good guys.This is a good look into secret organizations and political corruption designed to give the powerful the desires of their heart.  The average citizen has no idea about the inner workings of political organizations and after reading this book I know that people, situations and even the news are often manipulated to obtain desired results.  I look at politics so differently and I see how easy it is to misplace trust.  I believe that anyone with an interest in politics and history should read this book.  The back of the book also documents a timeline that is very interesting and educational.
