In House Divided, fixer Joe DeMarco gets caught between two of the most powerful organizations in the world: the Pentagon and the National Security Agency.

One of Deadly Pleasures Mystery Magazine's Best Thrillers of the Year
Nominated for the 2012 Barry Award for Best Thriller

When the NSA was caught wiretapping U.S. citizens without warrants, a scandal erupted and the program came to a screeching halt. But the man who spearheaded the operation wasn't about to sit by while his country sleepwalked into another 9/11. Instead, he moved the program into the shadows. So when the NSA records a rogue military group murdering two American civilians, they can't walk over to the Pentagon and demand to know what's going on. However, as the largest intelligence service in the country, both in money and manpower, they have plenty of options--mostly illegitimate. DeMarco learns all too well just what the NSA is capable of, but he doesn't like being used, so he fights back.

Need I say more than the headline. Kept me turning the pages until the end. That is all you need.

Great read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 April 2013

Lost star as it wasnt as good (in my humble opinion) as the other De Marco stories but I was still gripped. Great storyline and well written as all Mike LAwsons books are.
I just found this this one a little harder to get into, maybe it was the other characters and the missing Emma and Mahoney.

Another DeMarco mystery

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 February 2015

Verified Purchase

Another good thriller in the DeMarco series. Mike Lawson has kept up the standard and the suspense. If what he says about the American NSA is true we should all be very worried!

Nick Brett

clever, clever thriller

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 August 2011

"Machiavellian thriller" reads one of the reviews on the back cover, and they are right, although perhaps the word deliciously should be added.

This is Lawson's sixth thriller in his Joe DeMarco series. DeMarco is a fixer for the Speaker of the House with no action hero talents or skills, he is a slightly determined but very much an average guy. In House Divided the author takes a big change of direction which is a risky but clever strategy. DeMarco becomes almost a background figure while the action takes place around him and in many cases he is either unaware or very much pushed in certain directions. Lawson also removes his support structure, Speaker Mahoney, is in hospital, girlfriend Angela is away on CIA business and multi-talented Emma is away on a cruise with her girlfriend, so DeMarco is very much on his own....

Actually all DeMarco wants to do is play a bit of golf, and he is inconvenienced by a distant cousin being killed and him needing to sort out the estate. In most thrillers this would take the lead character into a chase to uncover the truth but DeMarco just wants to play golf and it takes him a long time to release there may be more to his cousin's death. Meanwhile the NSA and an arm of the Military are playing cat and mouse games with each-other over the death, both agencies operating out of their remit and wanting to take action without exposing their own activities.

I enjoyed every page of this, full of rich characters and clever agency inter-play and a knowledge of US Governmental politics. A vein of wit and charm runs through what is by no means an obvious thriller. We are, like DeMarco, lifted from our comfort zone of heroic leads and clear enemies and we are forced to sit back and just enjoy the show.

I thought this was a fantastic read, some fans may be disappointed with the way the author treats DeMarco but this is clever, clever stuff and highly recommended.

Good book but not enough Demarco

Reviewed in the United States on 27 August 2020

Verified Purchase

Interesting book but I missed having Demarco lead the tale. This had other characters primarily in the focus and I missed more of Demarco. Two of the primary characters had similar names but represented different agencies and that was a bit confusing. Wouldn't skip this book but not quite as good as others in the series.
