    About this ebook

    The acclaimed short story that inspired the award-winning novel, The Enemy Within.

    February, 1964: Two men die in a squalid alley in a bad neighborhood. New York Homicide Detective Seamus O’Reilly receives the shock of his life when he looks at the men’s identification: J. Edgar Hoover, the famous, tyrannical director of the FBI, and his number one assistant, Clyde Tolson.

    O’Reilly teams up with FBI agent Frank Bryce to solve the high-level assassination before the murders unleash even greater consequences.

    In our world, Hoover kept his secrets until long after his death. In Seamus O’Reilly’s world, Hoover’s secrets get him killed.

    Two different best of the year collections, including the prestigious Best American Mystery Stories, chose “G-Men” as one of the best stories of 2008. Nominated for the Sidewise Award for Best Alternate History.

    New York Times bestselling author Jeffery Deaver says of “G-Men,” “If you liked E.L. Doctorow’s Ragtime or the writing of Caleb Carr (The Alienist), you’ll enjoy this. Part police procedural, part political thriller, this clever tale features real life characters interacting with fictional ones.”

      The book keeps pretty close to the movie.It's well written and entertaining.
    • 3/5
      I read this novelization years ago, right after the movie came out. I loved the film - it was one of the first films I saw more than once in the theatre. This novelization follows the film fairly well except for one, glaring, cringe-inducing issue: Wolverine has four claws on each hand instead of three. Now, I get that the book was written before the film, probably well before, but Wolverine has been a staple of the comics for decades. Every time he "popped his claws," one from each knuckle, it made me grind my teeth because it was wrong. Other than that, the book was fast-paced, with a little extra expansion on what characters were thinking and feeling during pivotal parts of the movie.If the claws don't annoy the crap out of you, as they did me, this book was a decent read.
