A Touch of Deceit is a Nick Bracco novel by Gary Ponzo.  It is an adventure suspense.  The characters are well developed so they seem to come alive.  The plot is one that unfortunately could actually come to pass in the United States these days.  Instead of having Iraqi or Afghani terrorists invading the United States and causing havoc, the author uses Kurds.Nick Bracco is an FBI agent who is on the verge of a burnout.  His doctor says that his symptoms are most likely caused by stress and that he needs to get stress out of his life.  Nick agrees but can’t seem to leave his job.  When his brother is kidnapped by the terrorists, he drops everything and heads to Las Vegas to try to get his brother out.  He and his partner, Matt manages to find Phil and get him out but without his kidnappers.  They know they need to find the leader as quickly as possible.  When the terrorists start killing families in all 50 states, the need to find them grows.  It becomes personal when his cousin’s house is bombed and later when his wife is kidnapped and shot.  It is more imperative than ever to find Kemel Kharrazi.  Can they find  him in time and stop him?
