The Keepers of Truth by Michael Collins is one of those books so full of the authors own opinions that it should have a brain-washing warning sticker on it to warn people who's brains are easily washed. Anyway, the story is interesting if not all that original. It is a murder mystery, but the way it is written and presented to us is what made this a five star read for me. Knowing the author helped make this even more fun as well. As I said, I can see this book angering some hard-core Americans. You know the ones I mean: people who take pride in their town and country no matter what. People like that probably wouldn't read a book like this which talks a lot about the decaying American Dream and so on and so on. The only scene that angered me was when the story's antagonist, Ronny Lawton, throws a bag of perfectly good Burger King food out the window in his hostage situation.
