Product Description
Richard Paladin works in the shadows eliminating terrorists,
spies, and just general riff-raff who threaten the security of the
United States. At least, he assumed that's who he'd be killing when he
was hired into a secret department of the Environmental Protection
Agency. But when one of his "clients" turns out to be a seemingly
harmless Missouri housewife, then he's ordered to eliminate the owner of
the local northern Virginia bar he frequents, he starts to ask himself a
few questions—like what any of this has to do with the U.S.
Government's reluctance to sign the Kyoto Protocol. Still, if he can run
the gauntlet of spies and goons who keep cropping up unexpectedly, he
might just be able to hold onto his job and keep doing what he
loves—arranging fatal accidents and suicides. Because Richard Paladin
hasn't got a clue what he would do for a living if he loses his job as a
government killer.
Killer Protocol, the first in the Richard Paladin series, is a suspenseful and engaging thriller that keeps you guessing all the way through. The protagonist, Paladin, is a lonely and cynical person, which is probably a good thing as he is a government hit man. So when this hot-blooded assassin's inner humanity begins to force him to question some of the targets being selected for him, the foundations of his life and number of people he can trust starts to wither, forcing him to use all of his skill to tackle the various known and unknown enemies now occupying his world.
ReplyDeleteA thoroughly enjoyable thriller, I look forward to reading more Paladin...
