"A believable political thriller"
When his beloved wife died, Kurt felt much of his life
was interred with his cherished spouse. Though he was away
from home a lot as expected with his job as a Secret
Service agent, with the help of his sister Grace, Kurt
raises his son Collin. Now years later, Kurt has left the
agency to become a successful CEO while Collin is the
family's Secret Service Agent. In Skaneateles Lake, New York just as Kurt proposes
marriage to his beloved Jill, Grace calls to tell him that
Collin is dead. The Alexandria, Virginia police believe
Collin committed suicide using a gun through his mouth to
blow away his brains. Kurt refuses to accept the official
explanation as he does not believe Collin would take such
an action. He begins to investigate and soon learns about
an enigmatic meeting with the President in which several of
the attendees are now dead. Kurt intricately knows the
layers protecting the President including THE FOURTH
PERIMETER of secret service agents. He plans to use this
knowledge to assassinate the man whom Kurt believes had his
son murdered though he knows it will still take a Hail Mary
to succeed. Though not offering any new offensive thrust, Tim Green
provides fans of political thrillers with an exciting tale
due to the likable hurting hero. Fans will root for Kurt
to score because his pain as a beloved father of the victim
feels genuine and his need to sack his son's killer will
garner much empathy. The story line follows the sub-genre
game plan, but Kurt turns THE FOURTH PERIMETER into an
engaging tale. Harriet Klausner
