An Intriguing Read

The Kill Option

Cash-poor, out-of-work reporter Nick McQueen is feeling desperate when his brother Barry, an ex-marine, suddenly appears and says, "I got a job for you." He explains that the killing of two Mexican smugglers near the border needs to be followed up. Nick is instructed to use false identity and to forward intel in two days. To expedite his assignment Nick visits his drug trafficking informant and is greeted with a blow to the head. This not-so-friendly contact later brings more grief and disaster into Nick's life. At a border cafe Nick questions a waitress who admits the dead Mexicans had been there with another man who "had weird eyes." This fact prompts Barry's boss to name the killer The Jack of Hearts after the one-eyed jack in a deck of cards. As an undercover agent Barry now enlists Nick to actively pursue The Jack of Hearts, who is believed to be on the way to assassinate one of the foreign leaders attending a secret summit in Colorado. The assassin's trademark is the brutal slaying of prostitutes. Charmian, a survivor seeking revenge, links up with Nick as he races to thwart the hit man's objective. Fast-paced,with visceral realism, this dark thriller blends action and suspense throughout, and exposes conspirators at the highest levels -- an intriguing read.

Catchy Title but Very Ameteurish!

I agree with a previous reviewer - decent plot but the writing was all over the place. The ending leaves a lot to be desired and a lot of the 'dialogue' is repetitious.

not a great

the plot was okay but the writing style and the action was all over the place. the ending also left little to be desired.

Book read on spur of the moment

This is a terribly written book. The plot was interesting but there is no way Nick would keeping working after his kids were blown up . After Barry supported the conspiracy theory Nick believed Nick wouldn't have wished him dead .

Scintillating storyline and exciting throughout.

I've always had a love for thrillers in movie and in book form so this book fit perfectly into my interests. I has a gripping plot line that pays off in the end. This is a very underrated novel and is definitely a 'must have.'
