Publisher's Summary:
When General Griffin North, a highly decorated African American icon, is killed in a suspicious plane crash, a special commission deems it a tragic accident caused by mechanical error. Certain the general was assassinated and keenly aware that high-ranking officials would stop at nothing to keep a black man from a possible vice presidential nomination, Mollie Smith of the Criminal Investigation Division vows to keep the investigation alive. When Mollie is found murdered, her protégé and close friend Rachel Collins is left to pick up the scent of conspiracy. With the help of Mollie's brother Logan, the head of the FBI team tracking domestic terrorists, Rachel comes head to head with the Engineer, an ingenious and ruthless killer whose sole goal is to cut short her inquiry - and her life.

Knuckle-Twisting Suspense
Robert Ludlum's mantel has rightfully fallen to Philip Shelby, but unlike Ludlum his protagonist, Rachel, is a credible physically-fit smart woman--not larger than life as Ludlum was prone to make his heroic characters, who could be half dead but they could still run across roof tops for five pages afterwards without a murmur of pain. He keeps a taut pace, and the story races forward without the constant circling back to redundant information that plagues many authors' works. An explosive page turner with a fascinating psychopathic villian, the Engineer. A must read worth five-stars.
Another Flight To Deception.
This thriller has all the features of its genre, plus some. A crooked judge, assassins galore, terrorists before the ones we are aware of, and secret agents (all using false names). No one is who he or she claims to be. This is right down Eddy Roy's alley, but I can't for the life of me remember the author he is devoted to and buys all his books.
Sarah Martindale, Wink's sister (not her real name), Rachel used to book a flight from Baltimore to Atlanta. I hope she had proper ID. On my first solo flight, I ran in panic to the nearest phone when ID was required. I had my own, but not for the name on the ticket. It was a last minute gift. Since Lee wasn't at home to verify he had given me the round trip to Chicago, I was finally allowed to use it for the last empty seat. She is a secret agent, a strong woman with military training.
Little did she know that the assignation was closely monitored and thwarted. The Engineer was determined to get her out of the way any way he could. Steven Copeland should never have gone into the hotel sauna alone. The depraved Engineer got to him first. "We don't believe in virtues, that some things are good and others evil. Consequences. That's what we knw for sure, the only thing we hold true." His soul "was utterly rotted away." He was the very essence, the presence of evil. That's how Philip uses dialogue, choppy and to the point. Not much elaboration or explanation. It gets old after awhile. So much blood and gore, you'd think you were in Baghdad. There was much evasion of the truth and delusion -- too much, in fact. The Engineer turned out to be David McFadden of Hong Kong. What business of his would it be if a black man were elected V. P.
