A brand-new heart-pounding technothriller from Keith Thomson, acclaimed author of ONCE A SPY. Russ Thornton is a hard-hitting journalist known for his ability to take on big targets in government and in business. An old flame, now a Capitol Hill staffer, contacts him out of the blue wanting to disclose some top-secret information. But she is gunned down in cold blood, right in front of him. Worse, the killers are concerned about what Thornton knows, and who he may tell. He finds himself in a game of cat-and-mouse, where the stakes are life and death and the surveillance technology is so sophisticated that he wouldn’t believe it existed—if it weren't implanted in his own head.

Short Review: I am a fan of Keith Thomson because of his Once/Twice a Spy novels. Seven Grams of Lead is less funny, more traditional spy thriller and has more action. In fact the action is basically non-stop from start to finish. Part of what I like about many spy novels is the slow build and relatively slowness. It is not that this is a bad book, I enjoyed it mostly. But I think it depended too much on action.
