The Eulogist

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.
