Wow. When I started to read this book I thought it was a work of fiction. I live in Lake Charles and knew just about every major player John Brotherton named. When the riverboats came into Lake Charles I was only in elementary school so I did not know what really happened (happenes still) in Louisiana politics. This book opened my eyes to how crooked our state really is. This book is excellent for anyone who would like to read a book that you will not put down. It is a combination of scandals, spies, fiction only imagined, crime and above all else the truth. I can highly recogmmend A Fistful of Kings to anyone. Enjoy.

The mystery is really ???
So far I've identified 18 clues and I'm stumped to find the rest. Brotherton's got a good weaving style. I will keep trying. This is a good book for the main story and the hidden one.
