The Boomerang is a high-octane political thriller that’s as wild as it is gripping. The premise—a powerful D.C. insider going rogue to protect his family—feels almost too outlandish to believe at times, but Bailey makes you buy in with sheer momentum and conviction. From the first chapter, it’s a full-throttle ride packed with danger, conspiracies, and a couple of genuinely surprising twists.
Eli James is a compelling protagonist: loyal, desperate, and forced into impossible choices. His transformation from loyal Chief of Staff to fugitive father on the run is intense, if a little cinematic in its believability. The stakes are sky-high, and Bailey doesn’t pull punches, delivering corporate corruption, government secrets, and a standoff that feels like a modern-day Western.
The final act lands well, offering a satisfying conclusion that wraps up the chaos with just enough closure. While suspension of disbelief is definitely required, The Boomerang delivers what it promises—an absolutely unputdownable, adrenaline-soaked page-turner that fans of political thrillers will devour.
