Publisher's summary

He was a war hero and a member of Congress. Now he's dead - shot down the day after he made a scathing speech blasting corruption in Washington. For Sacramento police detectives Terry Nye and Rose Tafoya, the investigation is a time bomb. They have just twenty-four hours to find out if the congressman was killed because of his speech...or something far worse. Dennis Cooper is acting District Attorney during these critical twenty-four hours. He's in for the fight of his career and time is running out for everyone - and they know it.

Not sure about the conclusion

I greatly enjoyed the earlier book by this author with the same detective characters, Nye and Rosie. This book was tightly constructed until the end. Enjoyed it, except for the abrupt, unsubstantiated conclusion.

Listening to The Bribe

It got off to a slow start, but I’m glad I stayed with it. It culminated into an interesting drama.

something for everyone

You have murder, politics, infidelity, lots of characters, snitching, and the requisite bribery. What else do you need in a book.

Cannot get enough of narrator McClain!

Wood has the most incredible writing and a very incomparable way of making you feel like these are true events...and in the voluminous character voices of McClain and you cannot stop listening, and you WILL want to hear all of the available audiobooks by both of these amazing and talented entertainers!

Good suspenseful police drama.

I enjoyed the story. It lead me in different directions; trying to figure out who done it. I felt the tension between the police detectives, the D.A. vs. the FBI agent. Well written. The reader needs to work on his reading of female parts.

And???

Left me hanging after following the disjointed story. Glad I didn’t waste a credit on it.
