Secret State

After a devastating industrial disaster and a national crisis, a newly elevated government leader confronts pressure from big business, banks, intelligence agencies, politicians, and the public. An investigative journalist pursues troubling questions as political maneuvering, terrorism concerns, surveillance, and industrial cover-ups complicate the search for answers.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like compact British political thrillers with conspiracy, power struggles, and timely themes, especially The State Within; Not for you if you prefer subtle, realistic politics or patient character development.
