Acquire Primary Storm (Lewis Cole, #6) Conceived By Brendan DuBois Contained In Version

Nothing to write home about, but not a total waste of time either, I read an anthology of mystery books edited by Charlaine Harris and enjoyed the short story written by Brendan DuBois.
I immediately requested all Brendan DuBois books from the library and this one arrived first,

Whenever I discover a new series and new character, I havethoughts: How have I not heard about this author before and Oh, I have met a friend who I can encounter again and again.


Lewis Cole is like that for me, Lewis Cole may be Dubois' most famous

character, but in reading more of DuBois' short stories, I am strangely obsessed with Owen Taylor and want more of him.


Anywho Lewis Cole is a magazine columnist with a secret DOD past, He has lots of free time and knows a curious mix of people, This book, which deals with the New Hampshire primary, is great, Shady characters Felix I love you!, dirtsy politics, breaking news, and snow,

I'm in the middle of another Lewis Cole book as I write this, I found the book slow Another enjoyable Lewis Cole mystery, It is Presidential primary season in New Hampshire, Lewis' girlfriend, Annie Flynn, is working for Georgian Senator Jackson Hale's campaign, While attending a rally for him, Lewis steps outside because he feels ill, thwarting a plan to frame him for an assassination attempt with a gun belonging to Lewis.
Then a dead body shows up at his front door, requiring the services of his good friend and retired mobster, Felix Tinios.
DuBois does a nice job of capturing a frenetic time in New Hampshire when the state's primary becomes a battleground for candidates.
An interesting twist is that Hale's wife was Cole's college sweetheart, and there is lots of manipulating in this one political, professional and personal.
The beginning of this book did not bode well, I foundtypos and grammatical errors in the first few pages, and the writing was generally stilted, I was reading it on a flight, though, and didn't have another book handy, so kept with it and am glad I did.
The plot and writing seemed to keep improving as the book progressed, I'm not sure I'd rush out to read any more books by this author, but it was a lot better than it could have been : Each of Dubois' Lewis Cole books just get better and better.
. . Every four years, the small and unassuming state of New Hampshire gets a little bigger as the first primary election state in the runup to the presidential elections of the U.
S. Its considered the early indicator for most nominees as to their success or failure in gaining their partys nomination for president.


For Lewis Cole, former Department of Defense employee and current columnist for Shoreline magazine, its just a lot of noise and bullshit.
Living a quiet, apolitical life in the small town of Tyler Beach, Cole just wants time to read his daily newspapers, drink his coffee, and maybe enjoy a little roll in the hay with his new girlfriend, Annie.
Unfortunately, Annie is constantly on the go working as a campaign manager for one of the candidates,

Cole may not want anything to do with the elections, but somehow he still manages to get sucked into the political machinations anyway.
After a strange visit from a Secret Service agent claiming that Cole is a “person of interest” in potential threats to the candidates, a failed assassination attempt during a rally results in the arrest of Cole, as his fingerprinted weapon is the weapon used.
As if that werent enough of a literal smokinggun, its discovered that the wife of the candidate happens to be Coles old college girlfriend.


Someone on high wants Cole to be a patsy, and his quiet life soon ends up being something from “The Parallax View”.
But the conspirators seriously underestimate Cole, He used to work for the government, so he knows how to play dirty, too,

Brendan Duboiss “Primary Storm” is the sixth book in his series involving Lewis Cole, a series that is consistently entertaining and suspenseful.
Fans of Robert Parker and Lee Child will enjoy, This book revolves around the New Hampshire primary, It is exciting and a great read, I knocked this off in two days, The Lewis Cole character always seems to get himself in weird jams and his friend Felix is always there to bail him out.
The characters are interesting and keeps me coming back for more of this series, Another solid entry in the Lewis Cole series, Read this during NH primary week, which echoes the setting of the novel, Will read Deadly Cove, the most recent installment, in the next several weeks, The Presidential primary in New Hampshire is a wonderful backdrop for Lewis Cole, filled with interesting twists and turns, Every four years, the spotlight of the world turns to the tiny state of New Hampshire, as the voters in its primary help choose the next president of the United States.



Usually, Lewis Cole, a magazine columnist and exDepartment of Defense research analyst, tries to stay out of the spotlight.
However, when he attends a political rally for the frontrunning senator, gunfire breaks out, and Lewis becomes the initial suspect in the attempted assassination.



With the Secret Service shadowing his every move, with his budding romance with a campaign volunteer in jeopardy, and with the threat of continued violence against him and the candidate, Lewis desperately tries to find out who set him up for the attempted killing, and who is still stalking him.



Lewis is operating in the glare of the news media and among aggressive campaign rivals as he also tries to keep secret a decadesold connection with the leading presidential candidate, a secret that could have shattering consequences if revealed.



Drawing on his own shadowy government background and with the assistance of his friend Felix Tinios, a man with a foot on each side of the law, Lewis dives into the unsavory world of presidential politics, where secrets are traded for favors, where votes are cast and sometimes discarded, and where a trail of bodies and broken promises can lead to the White House.



Once more, DuBois brilliantly goes behind Lewis Cole's quiet existence to the flickering black shadows of his past.
Are unknown plotters using his secret DoD record to kill the candidate and pin the murder on Cole And can Cole outsmartor outshootthem before their plan can work

I read this book before I realized it was numberin the Lewis Cole series, I discovered the Lewis Cole series is much more fun to read in order, After reading the first five books the personality and quirks of Lewis Cole make much better sense, Enjoy the series best by starting withDead Sand, This book was appealing since we're currently in a primary season, I thought the mystery aspect was interesting, The low point was the dialogue between the the main character and his girlfriend, While never complex it read very stilted and false, I actually found it to be unpleasant and distracting, However, the story kept me interested and I wanted to know how it ended, PRIMARY STORM ThrillerNew HampshireCont VG

DuBois is one of the many authors I feel is underrecognized, Ive enjoyed the Lewis Cole series from the beginning and this book is no exception, DuBois creates excellent sense of place, Louis is an interesting character with a past, as is his friend Felix, The story is gripping and actionpacked and certainly doesnt doe anything to improve my view of the election process in this country but still makes the point that it is the best system there is.
Primary Storm can stand on its own, but I recommend reading the series from the beginning,
