The MasterMind by David Unger

3.0

Probably 3.5 stars.

This is a fictionalized account of the true story of a Guatemalan lawyer who arranged his own death and blamed it on the president. The real-life case caused quite a crisis in Guatemala.

I did not like the first half of the book that much. The main character is an ass and there was too much (for me) graphic sex. The second half was very good and sped along like an exciting political thriller. Interesting book for the most part.
