The Jericho Pact (Office 119 #3)

The Jericho Pact is the third book in the Office 119 series/trilogy by Rachel Lee. (I am guessing there will be more books in the series even though the current situation has been resolved.)

By this third book all of the plot lines are merging. Europe is in trouble and a man who is following the same set of plans as Hitler is at the core of the trouble. Muslims are being relocated - supposedly for their safety. A leader in opposition to the relocation has been killed by an assassin.

The office 119 team is trying to put together the facts about who is behind the unrest. They start to realize the the president of the EU is behind the chaos when one of their own is arrested for tackling a man who threw a Molotov cocktail into a crowd of Muslims - and the man turned out to be on the EU Security Force.

Lee (a pseudonym for two writers working together) has created a fascinating, suspenseful look at how easily history can repeat itself if the leader of the plot uses media and fear to control populations. This trilogy is a must read for anyone who is interested in history, politics, human rights, or reading great books.
