The Black List

By Robin Burcell
The Black List by Robin Burcell digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

The first death was ruled an accident. But when a second accountant from A.D.E.—a popular relief organization that resettles East African refugees—turns up dead, FBI Special Agent and forensic artist Sydney Fitzpatrick is called in to lend her expertise in an increasingly troubling case. Not only is the charity backed by a powerful U.S. senator, but the investigation reveals that its funds have been siphoned off to bankroll terrorist cells in black list countries, and Sydney fears the consequences.

And it may already be too late. Death has crossed the border from Mexico and is now heading toward Washington, D.C. Time is rapidly running out—and unless Sydney and her partner, Zachary Griffin, can get to the root of a monstrous conspiracy, untold thousands will die in a nuclear nightmare and a nation will be reduced to chaos.

Slightly Smiling Face“Normally I love this series but this one just dragged. I didn’t think I was ever going to finish it. FBI, CIA and the top secret organization ATLAS is at it again. Hunting down the criminals and saving the innocent. A good thriller. I’ll check out the next one.”
“FBI agent and forensic artist Sidney Fitzpatrick hoped that taking a teaching job would get her out of the mess she found herself in in Amsterdam with her covert ops friend Zachary Griffin. Unfortunately, in town for the holidays with her family, her old partner asks her to help him out, a personal favor and she lands right back in the action. Once again, Griffin and his team are called in to do a little under the rug investigation into a charity that helps refugees relocate to the US. But this charity may also be allowing terrorists to come in as well. A well-known terrorist is said to be on his way and plans on holding nothing back. Sidney and Zach must track him down before he causes a major explosion in DC. My Thoughts: This is my second Sidney Fitzpatrick book and I like her more and more as I read more about her. She’s not normally directly in the line of fire, but now that she has worked with a special ops force, she keeps finding herself closer and closer to danger, but handles it like a pro. And the team of characters that she works with is great. I really liked this book because it had two stories going on at the same time, but in the end, they connected. You had people in Africa trying to figure out what was going on with this charity and then people in DC trying to track down the terrorist. This is the fourth book in the series. I have read 3 and 4. You could definitely read it as a standalone and know what was going on, but for those of us who have read The Dark Hour, we know a little more about Sidney and Zach and what makes them tick. I really like Robin Burcell’s work. Being a cop herself, she gives an insight that many other authors wouldn’t be able to. She knows the ins and outs, how things work and that really makes these books seem real. I give The Black List 5 out of 5 bookmarks.”
