Title: Killing Floor
Author: Lee Child
Here is a blood and thunder story for the mystery fan. Our protagonist is an ex-service man with all the skills of a cage fighter. A loner, wanderer, he stops off at a small village in the south because he remembered an early jazz musician had once stayed there. And, wouldn’t you know, it happens to be where his seldom contacted brother has just been murdered. Apparently his brother, a government agent, was investigating a counterfeiting scheme that focused on this village. Action, intrigue and surprises start with the first page. Soon our hero is deeply involved in danger, action and even romance.
One can learn more than you need to know about the art of counterfeiting U.S. money. Let’s just say you won’t succeed with a home PC and a printer. While this story can be riveting and informative the author’s style may be annoying. A simple act like parking a car in a shopping mall lot can be drawn out ad infinitum. Explanation: one doesn’t just park and get out – - – no. One ’stopped in the parking space and then reached for the key to turn off the engine. Removing the keys he reached for the door handle and opened the driver side door. He stepped onto the pavement and, turning, he surveyed the lot. He slowly closed the door and moved away from the car.’ This same tortured style is used even if only approaching a front door. It is as if the author wants to make certain you haven’t forgotten the normal acts one takes to navigate the surroundings. I read this on my Kindle – - it’s cheaper that way and I can delete it when I am done.
An interesting book – - – try it, you might like it.
