Short Summary of the book:

Bennett Mills is unwell on the day the senator he’s supposed to protect is assassinated; the assassin dead by suicide. As an FBI agent, he is taken off the case and asked to take annual leave.

When he meets a police officer on the flight to his family home, he is drawn in by the similarities of a case he mentions to him. What follows is an action-packed search for the truth with many twists and turns.

The book has some similarities to the Jack Reacher series, but at the same time is completely unique.

If you like action-packed detective stories, this book may be the book for you.

I’m certainly looking forward to reading more by this author.

Book Description by Author:

Agent Bennett Mills is a member of a special security detail charged with the protection of a prominent Arizona senator…until the senator is assassinated. With the suspected assassin having taken his own life it appears to be an open and shut case, but something doesn’t sit well with Agent Mills. While waiting for reassignment, he takes some vacation time making a less than enthusiastic trip home to see his family. A chance meeting leads Mills on the trail of a madman that is often fraught with more questions than answers. Who can be trusted? Every step forward leads to another dead end.
