Three Weeks in Washington

In this third installment of Luana Ehrlick's Titus Ray Thriller series, American spy Titus Ray has uncovered a Hezbollah plot to attack the nation's capitol with chemical weapons. I have been reading the series for the Clock Reading Challenge which requires books to have a number in the title. Ehrlich has several series with numbers in the title and I am in the process of reading two of them.  Both are fantastic thriller series.

The publisher's summary:

Encountering a Shooter . . .

CIA intelligence operative, Titus Ray, arrives in Washington, D.C. on the day a terrorist enters the Washington Navy Yard and murders five people. Convinced the incident is connected to a Hezbollah plot to use chemical weapons on an American city, Titus jeopardizes his own career to interrogate the killer and learn the truth.

Exposing a General . . .

After the shooter reveals the identity of an Iranian deep-cover operative living in Washington, D.C., Titus embarks on an intelligence operation spanning two continents and exposing an Iranian general obsessed with destroying America. 

Engaging an Enemy . . .

As time runs out, Titus engages the enemy in a treacherous game of cat and mouse to save the lives of thousands and defeat the terrorists. Can his faith sustain him as he faces his greatest challenge yet? Is he willing to lose Nikki to save his country? 

What People Are Saying About Titus Ray Thrillers:

“The characters are very well-developed and believable. I enjoyed the way the author described Titus Ray's internal struggles and character flaws creating a very authentic main character. The story was action-packed and one is left wondering how the author could be so knowledgeable of the CIA and the work of their covert operatives.”

I finished reading the book quickly because it was hard to put down.  The plot moves from one intense situation into another. I am learning alot about how the U. S. intelligence community functions from reading this series. I wonder, though, if working as a spook is as action packed as the author's novels indicate. The main character, Titus Ray, is a practicing Christian.  In these stories, he shares his faith in a realistic way but his faith does not have a prominent role in the novels. We read about it here and there. Concerning the chemical weapon threat, it felt like I was living through the anthrax poisonings of a few years ago. 

5 out of 5 stars.
