Cheifs is not a bad tale. In it the top leadership of the country is eliminated in a terror strike. Only the serving Secy of State is still alive. But an attempt is made on her life before she can assume the office.Enter Tom West who happens to be strolling down the sidewalk when a second attempt is made. THe stretch here is that attempts keep being made on her life keeping her in the wind so-to-speak. These shenanigans go on and on seemingly and become a theater of the absurd. This is simply too hard too imagine and a rewrite of this tom-foolery would make this a stronger book.What does work is the conspiracy behind the initial attack. Rodgers throws out some effective misdirection here and keeps you guessing right up to the big reveal at the end.Characters and dialogue are ok, but not riveting, hence my three star rating. Worth the .99 cent download price.
