Corruption,ambition, power and international intrigue...

Dangerous Games, a political thriller is the latest novel by the bestselling author Danielle Steel. The book was released on 9th March 2017 and is published by Pan Macmillan India. The cover page of the book is very subtle in very soothing colors of blue having a picture of White House and the protagonists of the story. 

Dangerous Games is a political thriller story about television correspondent Alix Philliphs who is very devoted towards her work and cares less about her own safety. She is always on the go for her work. She is hardworking,passionate and a brave woman. She dodges bullets to bring the most important news to the world. She has a daughter Faye, studying in college. Alix is working alongside cameraman Ben Champman, an ex-Navy SEAL who travels with Alix to cover the news. She gets into an investigation damning allegations which involved one of the powerful figures, the Vice President,Tony Clark. 

The story is set in various different places and author has described them well. The characters are very well described. The female protagonist Alix, is shown brave which I liked a lot.The plot line is very intriguing which is full of mysteries and has an element of romance. The story is very gripping which will make you hold the book till the end. The theme politics is greatly discussed till the end of the book. The author has done justice with the plot. While reading the book one can easily visualize the happenings. The book seems like one is reading a true story. The book is a roller coaster ride having elements of thriller, romance, sympathy. 

Overall, it is a very engaging read which is impossible to put it down. I recommend this book to those who are highly interested in reading political thriller.
