Synopsis

The Versailles Conspiracy was recognized as an honorable mention in the Readers Favorite Awards in 2015 and is rated 5 stars on Readers Favorite.When a city building inspector is murdered, Lieutenant Wickland opens an investigation that stretches from the high society of local country clubs to The Flamingo Beachwear Store, whose Russian owner is suspected of selling counterfeit goods, to a mysterious international arms dealer to the notorious but elusive drug kingpin known simply as Mr. Grey. As the investigation takes them deeper into the backroom deals of the local good old boys and the net tightens around the crafty Russian with a loathing of America, Wickland and his colleague, Doug Graisco, are drawn into a web of international politics, deceit, and danger. As they navigate the complex web of intrigue to decipher who is who, they race against time, political roadblocks, and unexpected assailants to unlock the secrets of the Versailles conspiracy and stop an international incident that threatens global security.

Review:

...Cartwright's literary acumen conveys what it means to be a pro. Each sentence snaps with conviction and the author's attention to detail becomes utterly unbelievable at times. ...One particular scene has Lieutenant Wickland visiting a nervous witness and Cartwright's build-up to the meeting reads like classic literature. It's simply magical. Despite the tight structure, the storytelling becomes too guided at times with the narrator restating the obvious, but all in all, there's not much to pick apart...

 The Versailles Conspiracy is much more than a simple story, and would appeal to any reader who loves mysteries, detective novels, police procedurals, action/adventures, political intrigue, or just a plain good book. This was the first novel of Robert "Digger" Cartwright's that I've read, but it certainly won't be the last. I can't wait to see what he comes up with next!
