Fresh Fiction Review

The Killer Collective
Barry Eisler

Reviewed by Sharon Salituro
Posted July 3, 2019

Thriller

Livia Lone works for the police department. The case she has been working on involves a child pornography ring. The closer Livia gets to solving the case, the more strange things she discovers. All of a sudden the case gets closed after an airplane blows up killing two of the people working on the case. And then someone tries to kill Livia...

Livia gets a hold of her old friend Dox, a former marine sniper. Dox gets a hold of several of his old buddies to help on this mission. Special ops agents, Rain, Ben, Daniel, and Horton are all going to help find out who really is behind this. This group gets together in Japan, moving on to Paris where they then meet up with Delilah, Rains ex-girlfriend. They're willing to do anything to get the information they need, including killing people... Whoever is behind this doesn't stand a chance... 

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.

SUMMARY

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.
