If Connor Sullivan had set out to specifically write a political thriller, Wolf Trap would have been great.
If he had set out to specifically write a spy novel, Wolf Trap would have been great.
If he had set out to specifically write a mystery involving complex conspiracies, Wolf Trap would have been great.
By combining all of these individual components, Wolf Trap became something greater.
Leading a solitary life, full of guilt and regret, Brian Rhome is a man who simply wants to forget his past and be left alone. Unfortunately, for him… as a former Ground Branch paramilitary officer, the ghosts of his past don’t always stay dead. When he signs on to a mission helping to take out the man responsible for an ambush on his former team, Rhome finds himself entangled in a global conspiracy that reaches the very pinnacle of American political power and leaves the world on the brink of war. The only question is if he can stop what is coming.
Wolf Trap not only blurs the lines between subgenres, it devours them. As I quickly moved from chapter to chapter, the different characteristics from the various types of stories fought for dominance like a literary Cerberus, leaving me joyfully unable to confine this novel into a single category. This book continually morphs, shape shifting with the right type of story pushing its way to the front at the exact right time to ensure the maximum effect is felt by the reader.
While his book titles may include animals, Connor Sullivan is proving that he’s going to be a beast in this industry for years to come. Wolf Trap is a wonderfully complex and anxiety inducing story that will keep readers guessing until the very end.
