As a senior political reporter for the Washington Post, he's received death threats and taken on his share of scumbags, but this day trumps it all.

Recenzii
"As Managing Editor of Variety, I read a lot and it takes something truly captivating for me to read casually. I found just thatand I'm certain you will tooin Fitzharris' The Eighth Plague. Fitzharris brilliantly weaves intrigue, thoughtfulness, as well as humor and romance, into his first novel." -- Kirstin Wilder, Managing Editor for Variety Magazine
"A great storyteller has a keen sense of observation, able to pick out the nuances of most situations others might missit's also a trait honed as a government-trained intelligence officer. The realism Kyle brings to the page is not the result of a weekend ride-along. He's been there and his work in Mexico and Central America is reflected in this fast-paced thriller. Fascinating and well-developed characters in THE EIGHTH PLAGUE will have you asking yourself, 'Where do the facts end and the fiction begins?!'" -- Bob Hamer, Veteran FBI Undercover Agent & Award-Winning Author
