Barry Eisler writes a good suspense novel. THE KILLER COLLECTIVE has everything: suspense, romance, and a little bit of murder. While this book was good, I had a hard time following all the different characters and found it difficult to keep everyone straight. Recommended to readers who enjoy military-focused stories.
A fast-paced, page-turning novel of betrayal, vengeance,
and depraved secrets in high places from the New York
Times bestselling author of the John Rain and Livia Lone
series.
When a joint FBI–Seattle Police investigation of an
international child pornography ring gets too close to
certain powerful people, sex-crimes detective Livia Lone
becomes the target of a hit that barely goes awry—a hit that
had been offered to John Rain, a retired specialist in
“natural causes.”
Suspecting the FBI itself was behind the attack, Livia
reaches out to former Marine sniper Dox. Together, they
assemble an ad hoc group to identify and neutralize the
threat. There’s Rain. Rain’s estranged lover, Mossad agent
and honeytrap specialist Delilah. And black ops soldiers Ben
Treven and Daniel Larison, along with their former
commander, SpecOps legend Colonel Scot “Hort” Horton.
Moving from Japan to Seattle to DC to Paris, the group
fights a series of interlocking conspiracies, each edging
closer and closer to the highest levels of the US government.
With uncertain loyalties, conflicting agendas, and
smoldering romantic entanglements, these operators will have
a hard time forming a team. But in a match as uneven as this
one, a collective of killers might be even better.
