A Joe Ledger Novel

The King of Plagues

Sasha Mann

Already a great budding sense of mystery and the shock at another national tragedy with the reader having already an idea of who is behind it.
Story does a pretty good job of briefly catching you up on events that happened in short stories that take place within the Joe Ledger universe. I've not yet read them but at least now I have a bit of an idea of things that happened.
This novel has a lot going on even relatively early. We see some returning characters with some tie ins from the previous two books in the Joe Ledger series and a lot of people playing a part in some sort of massive takedown 
Getting some backstory that pertains to the events leading up to what kick started this book. Sort of a behind the scenes peak that I really like. So much mystery and fear in this book that is just mind boggling.
