Oooh, political thrillers! We love that!
(But politicians are always getting entangled in sex - hopefully no boy-brothel-in-basement scenes??)
If you have not read any of Vince Flynn, the first book is Term Limits and they are kind of a series. There are 10 books so far but you can jump in at any book because they are great stand alone stories- you just won’t have as much of some of the characters backgrounds. The most recent book,Extreme Measures, has most of the action occurring towards the end so I wouldn’t recommend this one as a best choice for your trip. And yeah, no “boy-brothel-in-basement scenes”.
