"An even mix of Crichton and Clancy and written equally as well. It's a classic page-turner."
'You know you're reading a good thriller when you start to cast it for the movie before you've even finished.' Eithne Hannigan, BOOK REVIEWS, CONNEMARA LIFE magazine.
You know you're reading a good thriller when you start to cast it for the movie before you've even finished. The plot is as complex as a Grisham novel, with twists and turns that kept me reading all night. It deals with corruption in high places and sinister secret societies and collusion between those who want more power.The characters are exceptionally well drawn and the dialogue fairly whips along. With the action moving from the elegant rooms of the White House to shootings in New York bars, car chases and mysterious cult rituals, the story catapaults the reader around the United States with confidence. As the plot thickens - as they say! - paranoia battles with genuine anxiety about the U.S. government under threat from those who have a blackmailing agenda.All the ingredients for a good thriller are here. Owen MacDara is an ex-medical intern who served in Korea, now a millionaire business consultant. His previous history in the army leads him to take up a personal vendetta for the deaths - or are they murders? - of several of his former army buddies. His soulmate is the beautiful daughter of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff upon whom MacDara had operated, in strictest confidentiality, in Korea. The subplots interweave as the protagonists' lives become affected by seemingly unrelated killings. Only MacDara begins to sense a more wide-ranging conspiracy.The details about the internal workings of the U.S. President's office and the machinations of those 'who would be king' are neatly plotted, with enough kidnappings, torture and sex to satisfy any connoisseur of the thriller genre. It's pacey and exciting and filmic in its descriptions. Definitely a gripping read for these long winter evenings ...........Eithne Hannigan holds an M.A. (hons.) in English from Cambridge University

I also agree that this could make a very good movie and I actually think that the plot and story line may be better suited to the screen.JOHN R LINNELL
"an entertaining and thrilling read of the first order...the chilling suspense will keep you restless !!!"
Narayan Radhakrishnan, NEW MYSTERY READER
Well, this was a rollicking ride. Read Circle of Sodom, and you'll get to follow Owen MacDara on his odyssey from New York to the Atlantic Ocean, from Palm Springs to the backwoods hills of Tennessee, all in the name of love and daring-do. There's a lot of action packed in these 300+ pages, action dealing with terrorism, spying, attempted coups, and religious fanaticism.
Good, tight writing, clean prose that just zips along, and characters that are engaging and memorable all contribute to a great new book in the thriller genre. PEGGY VINCENT
"an exciting novel, tight and tense, with a stunning climax" ARDATH MAYHAR
I agree with several reviewers who have suggested that it would make an excellent movie,TUCKER ANDERSEN
With rapid-fire pacing and well-drawn characters, Mr. Mullan takes the reader on a magic carpet ride all over the United States, England, Belgium, Switzerland and Hong Kong to weave a tale most evil and scary. The plot involves the very presidency, and the group plotting against our democracy is made up of very determined right-winged fanatics. Pat Mullen is a mature and knowledgeable writer who puts together a thriller with the best of them. The Circle of Sodom is an outstanding first effort from an author who can continue to capture his audience as long as he cares to try. An excellent read! Shelley Glodowski MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW
