This is the second book of David Ignatius that I read. It is not in the espionage gengre that his other books are. I read Bloodmoney, his latest book, first and that felt like it was lifted from the news of today. David works for the Washington Post after writing for the Wall Street Journal.Back to The Sun King. It was about a man who buys a newspaper in DC and the way he does it, the way he financed it, his total finances and the people he interacts with. There was some intrigue but nothing too serious or heavy.After reading more about David, I'm putting his first book Agents of Innocence on reserve.He's another espionage writer I want to follow
