Necessary Vengeance

By Clipper LaMotte

"Then he heard it, a different water sound - a quiet "swish." Now that it was about to happen, he felt behind him to touch Isabella. He looked straight down his extended arm and over the barrel of the Glock to the growing shape. Be enough weapon, he prayed."Hold on to your seat for a suspense-filled ride through LaMotte's page-turner. Fast-rising FBI agent Thaddeus Pennock, only forty and already Chief of the Bureau's DC Regional Office, loves to catch bad guys and beautiful women, but he's about to be challenged as never before as he and his savvy partner Owens investigate a brutal drive-by shooting that has the earmarks of a mob hit. An ambitious Congresswoman, aided by her fiercely loyal chief of staff, publicly accuses a secretive and Machiavellian businessman of being a drug lord and mastermind of the gangland-type murder. Pennock must penetrate the facades of both these powerful enemies, who manipulate events to influence the investigation and bring each other down. The only thing harder for Pennock than discovering who planned the murder is preventing the killer from striking again. A master at hiding in plain sight, guarding secrets of illicit lovers, and fueled by a singular vengeance, the killer forges a bloody trail stalking the first victim's mistress, a strong-willed Argentinian beauty whose life Pennock takes a very personal interest in protecting, even if the price is his own. The plot races from the sinister world of organized crime in Philadelphia to dirty DC politics and from deadly deception in Buenos Aires to a murderous ambush in the rolling hills of Pennsylvania horse country, with intriguing characters and non-stop action at every twist and turn.
