Jack McEnroe is a construction worker with an unusual job: building a prison for terrorists. Like his neighbors in Red Rock, Wyoming, Jack isn't particularly concerned about politics. In a depressed rural economy, he's just grateful to have a job. Jack's boss, Dave Fetters, is grateful, too: he has a no-bid, cost-plus contract issued by the previous administration. It's his last chance to get rich, and he's making the most of it.   But Dave is cooking the books, passing inflated costs along to defense contractor Halcyon Corporation - and Jack's ex-wife, Kyla, plans to blow the whistle. Suddenly, everyone Jack cares about, including his two young children, is in danger.   As the first winter snows fall in the rugged mountains, Jack must navigate a razor-wire labyrinth to rescue those he loves. And the true price of liberty, he discovers, is paid not in dollars, but human life.… (mehr)

The Price of Liberty came with one surprise after another. Even though it's a suspense novel it is filled with some serious bouts of humor that I was not expecting but thoroughly enjoyed. I often looked forward to getting back to it because it was so entertaining and fast paced. I loved the way Graff tied up all the loose ends with irony, wit and a few unexpected events. He also did an excellent job of getting in each characters head, you never had to wonder which POV the story was being told from because each character truly has a distinctive voice and perspective.

After reading this book you will likely feel as if you had just watched a really good action movie with characters that had class, intellect and uniqueness. Want to unwind with a thrilling book? The Price of Liberty is a great way to do it. ( )
