‘Duplicity: A Washington Thriller’ review

Never send a boy to do a man's job. That's an old saying that can be altered a dozen ways in our PC world. Bottom line: never send a neophyte to do something when experience is needed. And, it might be added, as in the new novel "Duplicity" by Newt Gingrich and Pete Earley, never send anyone in to do a job that'll kill them. CIA Director Payton Grainger had had it with one of his employees. For months, Officer Gunter Conner had been trying to convince his superiors that he had a better way of combating Islamic terrorism than what was already being done. Conner had written papers about it, had spoken at every meeting about it, and he was lately embarrassing himself and his department. But Conner had personal insight to the subject: his wife and son had been killed, his daughter gravely injured in a terrorist attack. He knew too well about Islamic terrorists, so when a special assignment came available, Conner saw his chance not only to prove himself right, but to find the man behind the ruination of his family. As an African American and a woman, Captain Brooke Grant, USMC, was especially keen on avoiding special treatment particularly when it came from her uncle, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Frank Grant, who wielded plenty of influence in Washington . She hated that he tried to shield her from danger; it was unfair, both to her and to fellow Marines. Brooke was good at her job and she hated being mollycoddled, so it was partly to avoid preferential treatment and partly because she loved

opportunity that she accepted a special assignment in Somalia. When the polls showed that challenger Timothy Coldridge was rising in popularity for the upcoming election, President Sally Allworth knew it would take bold, drastic action to stay in office. That was why, during an early debate, she announced that she was re-opening an embassy in Somalia, an area known to be held by terrorists. Securing it would take guts. It could also take fives... Notwithstanding its flaws (mainly: too much detail and too many characters, both of which slow the story down), it's hard to cast aside a novel that includes a prison break-in and two brutal murders within the first eight pages. That's where the ride begins in "Duplicity," and it doesn't let up for a good long while. With insider's eyes for current issues, authors Newt Gingrich and Pete Earley take readers behind closed doors in Washington, to Somalia, and into terrorist cells both at home and abroad where, like the main characters, we never know who fives and who dies or when. The story is a bit rough (blame the aforementioned details), but its authenticity overcomes that issue enough so that readers expecting a timely, keeps-you-guessing militarypolitical heart-pounder won't be too

limited space, however, the event filled to near capacity at each meeting the library offered in the six months prior to the formation of the regular knitting group. "I think most of the people who came were new knitters," Brandon-Smith said. "They were just learning the skills and wanted somewhere to consistently learn." In the new class, knitters of all ages will learn how to perform the basic functions of knitting, such as various techniques and stitches like the purl stitch, which is commonly used as an ornate stitch in things like garments. Attendees will also be allowed to bring in their own projects that they are working on at home for one-on-one instruction from Haney during class hours. The knitting club, however, is just one addition the library plans to make in 2016. Brandon-Smith said that, with the addition of the Cube Makerspace to the Nappanee Public Library, the library staff aims to add more regular programs and classes to their already abundant fist of events. "With the addition of the Makerspace we are definitely trying to get more maker programs in here," Brandon-Smith said. "And since this is one that went over very well, we are really encouraging it —we really want to keep it going." The library plans to use its current staff as program leaders for new events and classes, but Brandon-Smith noted that the help of volunteers , like Haney, is important to the library. "Mostly, we love volunteers like Rebecca," BrandonSmith said. "She isn't library staff in any other way, she's just someone who loves to knit and is kind enough to help out." No registration is required to attend the knitting groups, and attendees are encouraged to bring any project they are currently working on.
