FBI Special Agent Drew Cady
is reluctantly drawn into investigating the assassination of a sitting United
States Senator. Strangely, the senator's death is linked to a murdered
Baltimore junkie with an identical M.O.--a single stab wound to the heart and a
typed eulogy left at the scene.
As
Agent Cady deals with a professional hit man known only as the Canadian, a
breakthrough Alzheimer's drug, a misanthropic hacker, and a Mexican drug
cartel, he peels back the layers of deceit and comes to realize that even the
reddest of red herrings can bite.
And
unfortunately for all involved, the killings have just begun.

“Descent Writing, and
Moderate Pacing”
The assassination of Senator
Taylor Brockman is the beginning of several murders by the killer known as the
Eulogist due to the eulogy he leaves at the murder scene. FBI Special Agent
Drew Cady happens to be in town, and director of the FBI C.I.D (Criminal
Investigation Division)., Roland Jung brings Cady in on the case.
This was definitely an
interesting case. What did Senator Brockman have in common with the other
victims, one a junkie? The writing is descent, the pace moderate, and the
characters more than paper tigers. The book was a bit long, I thought, and
could have done with a few less red herrings. But mystery and thriller fans
will enjoy the yarn. Highly recommended.
