Ms. Attkisson filed a lawsuit against the Obama Justice Department in 2015 after noticing unusual activity with her work and personal electronic devices between 2011 and 2013, when she was investigating the administration.

She alleged in the lawsuit that two computer forensics teams identified a communications channel with an IP address linked to the U.S. Post Office “indicating unauthorized surveillance.”

The Justice Department argued that Ms. Attkisson had no evidence that former Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. or ex-Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe ordered spying on her.

A federal judge dismissed the case and she pursued it to a federal appeals court, which also rejected her lawsuit.

Frank Theydon, author, stumbles into a murder mystery when his neighbor at #17 is brutally murdered and he might have seen the murderer. Conflict arrives when the next day he finds the man he is having a luncheon date with, millionaire James Forbes, is the very man he saw enter the apartment bldg. This man has a very beautiful daughter that Theydon is quite interested in and he hesitates to say anything. Now he's being followed by a gray car that is linked to the Chinese Embassy. The murder victim's husband died in China. How much should he tell the Scotland Yard detectives? Is Mr. Forbes guilty or is he in danger too? What will happen to Evelyn Forbes if her father is guilty? Is she in danger too?

Many twists and turns involving an American tourist, kidnapping, shots through the window, a conspiracy involving a Chinese political group, tiny carved ivory skulls, a motorbike chase and the two fun detectives from Scotland yard. Although this book could have probably been a little shorter and still told a grand story I did enjoy this. It was full of action, that left you a little breathless, and great characters. The big question though is, does They don get the girl in the end? (less)
