The Inner Circle

Beecher White, a young archivist, spends his days working with the most important documents of the U.S. government.  He has always been the keeper of other people's stories, never a part of a story himself...until now.
Soon a man is dead and Beecher is on the run as he races to learn the truth behind this mysterious national treasure.  His search will lead him to discover a coded and ingenious puzzle that conceals a disturbing secret from the founding of the nation.  
Gripping, fast paced, and filled with the fascinating historical detail for which Brad Meltzer is famous, THE INNER CIRCLE is a thrilling novel that showcases a brilliant author writing at the height of his craft.

My Review:

This book has two of my favorite things that makes reading fun...one it uses true historical facts in history so while reading for fun, I am learning about things in history that I never knew about. (I google the references to actual facts and read about it). I've learned my history by books such as this then in high school! The second favorite thing I like, it's a mystery. 
The Inner Circle kept my attention I didn't want to put it down. However, I didn't care for Beecher's low self-image, I found that annoying.  
I give it 5 stars because I can overlook his annoying self-image problems. 
I hope to read other books by Brad Meltzer. (But hope his characters have more fortitude).
