Late one night, investigative journalist Jack Logan receives a surprise visit from U.S. Senator Malcolm Phillips at his New York apartment. Disheveled and in a panic, the senator swears that he’s about to be murdered and pleads with Jack to protect his wife Taylor, who happens to be the only woman Jack has ever truly loved. Days later, Phillips is found dead in a hotel room in Micronesia, the apparent victim of an allergy attack. While the nation mourns, Jack and Taylor race to find the one man who knows the truth. As they’re pursued by unknown assailants, their desperate hunt leads them to the Institute, an immense facility shrouded in mystery that has indoctrinated a generation of America’s political and media power players. Led by the enigmatic Damon Crosse, the Institute has its tentacles everywhere—but Taylor unknowingly holds the secret to the one thing that Crosse needs to carry out his plan. Taking readers on a thrill ride from the back halls of Congress to the high-rise offices of Madison Avenue and a remote Greek island, The Institute is a provocative, pulse-pounding novel that dares to ask the question: who’s really in charge?

When journalist Jack Logan is contacted by his ex-girlfriend’s current husband (a U.S. Senator) about protecting his wife all costs, Jack is a little thrown. He hasn’t spoken to Taylor in years and he knows she wouldn’t be thrilled to hear from him. But when the things the Senator had predicted, including his own mysterious death, Jack realizes something very serious and life-threatening is going on. Jack knows Taylor is truly in danger and starts to uncover the secret world the Senator unknowingly introduced her to. The Network is 384 pages long and took me one day to read. I really enjoyed this book and the longer it has sat with me the more I liked it. I’m giving it a 4 out of 5! This thriller keeps you guessing every step of the way. You truly never know who you can trust! Thank you, Harper, for sending me this copy! Here’s to the adventure of finding a novel novel! Lacey
