"Six minutes from now, one of us would be dead. None of us knew it was coming."So says Wes Holloway, a young presidential aide, about the day he put Ron Boyle, the chief executive's oldest friend, into the president's limousine. By the trip's end, a crazed assassin would permanently disfigure Wes and kill Boyle. Now, eight years later, Boyle has been spotted alive. Trying to figure out what really happened takes Wes back into disturbing secrets buried in Freemason history, a decade-old presidential crossword puzzle, and a two-hundred-year-old code invented by Thomas Jefferson that conceals secrets worth dying for.

In short, light weight and very entertaining. The time spent reading it certainly wasn't wasted.
The book gripped me from the beginning and kept me turning the pages even when I should have been sleeping.
Others have complained about the multiple points of view, to me this was a plus. It brought the book alive in a very tele-visual way.
The plot was fantastical. I don't doubt that this is based on a highly unlikely, even impossible conceit but as I was reading I just didn't care. It was fun and entertaining.
The characters were engaging. They weren't truly three-dimensional but the were well enough rounded that I cared for them.
The pacing was fast and fantastic. It was a real page turner.
