In this sequel, Matt Tremain is back, facing an even deadlier threat. Deceit and intrigue lie hidden behind the collapse of Operation CleanSweep. It’s time for revenge.

Instrumental in exposing the evil behind Operation CleanSweep—a diabolical “cultural cleansing” plot masterminded by Toronto billionaire Charles Claussen—investigative blogger Tremain now faces the madman’s desire for vengeance. Claussen intends to settle the score personally by luring Matt into a deadly trap.

But the clock is ticking for Claussen, too. Fraternité des Aigles, The Brotherhood of Eagles—a shadowy group that secretly financed Claussen’s Operation CleanSweep—wants answers and their money back. Consumed with rage, Claussen risks everything to get to Matt before the Brotherhood gets to him. Tremain is once again partnering with a police detective, Carling. Knowing they are being lured into a possible trap, they decide to face their nemesis, Charles Claussen.

Across four continents, Claussen sets traps, pursues Tremain, and continues to execute his signature brand of global chaos. When his fiancé’s life is on the line, can Tremain stop Claussen’s madness and still avoid getting killed?

My Review

I chose to read this book after receiving a free copy. All opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased. I read The CleanSweep Conspiracy a while back and I liked it, so I was happy to read the next book in the series. The CleanSweep Counterstrike stands on its own because it includes plenty of back story. As usual, though, it’s best to read the series in order if possible.

Charles Claussen’s Operation CleanSweep was thwarted by Matt Tremain, police detective Carling, and friends. Although the police believe that Claussen committed suicide, Matt and friends are sure that he had an escape plan and the body that was found wasn’t his. They’re right and Claussen wants revenge.

The CleanSweep Counterstrike is one of those books that is difficult to put down right from the first page. Claussen tries to trap Matt and Carling so he can kill them but at the same time, Claussen is on the run from The Brotherhood. They are a group that he borrowed a lot of money from and when everything went south, he was sure they’d kill him since he couldn’t pay them back. I was on the edge of my seat throughout most of the book. I had to remind myself occasionally that I wanted Claussen to be caught when he was on the run.

One of my favorite things about Chuck Waldron’s writing is his characters. Many of them are unique and add a lot to the story.

The CleanSweep Counterstrike is an excellent read. Unfortunately, it is in serious need of editing.
