Book Review - Kill Me Twice by Jerry Bayne

Kill Me Twice by Jerry Bayne is a fast-paced tale of political intrigue. Bayne weaves a tale about Brad Cardiff, a top CIA field operative faced with a life altering event and and what he will do to make things right. What would you do if every thing you loved, lived for, were suddenly taken from you? How would you handle it, if the boss you took orders from and the government you served betrayed you? What if the revenge you sought was against highly public and powerful adversaries? These are the questions Cardiff must ask himself.

What do you do when the killer you are sworn to catch, turns out to be someone you don't think is the real bad guy? That is the question Boston Police Sergeant, Mike Sams, will find himself asking.

Bayne has written a cloak and dagger full of well developed characters, intense action, political intrigue and raw emotions. He's thrown the Chicago Mafia and Colombian drug lords into the mix. Often when an author throws in too many over the top characters and scenarios, he loses the reader. That is not the case with this thriller. Bayne has blended these different characters and their backgrounds seamlessly.  He keeps you moving and never lets up on the tension and yet never loses you  with too many twist and turns. This is one book I would love to tell you so much more about, but that would give away the story and the outcomes.  I give this 4 out of 5 mafia hit men.

Since it is on the back cover of his book, I will include this exert for you:

"He hovered over the Senator for just a second; then'with surgical precision, placed an ice pick at the base of Franklin's head, then pushed it through his cerebellum. The body twitched once; death was instantaneous. Showing no emotion, Cardiff sat in a winged back chair and looked at his handy work. He had three or so hours to relax before snaking his way back into his coiled acge. He closed his eyes, not to sleep, but to breathe in the smell of death oozing from Franklin's inebriated corpse. The sensation fired up the smoldering embers of his memories of why he was there."
