Just another great Alton Rhode story. Loads of action, comedy and straight up detective work.This one starts with an assassin who's been payed to kill John Panetta. Why those who hired him want the man dead the assassin neither knows nor cares. He's been payed.John Panetta is in his 60's and has just moved to Staten Island.The assassin kills Panetta, leaves the DNA of a dead man and departs.The assassin, an Afghanistan war vet, finds out later that the man he killed was a Congressional Medal of Honor winner.While the assassin is a killer, he's also ex military and he's absolutely appalled to find .that he has killed a fellow soldier. A soldier who has earned the highest military award for valor.The assassin is pissed as hell. He also has no idea who hired him. The assassin  decides those that hired him need to pay for the death of John Panetta. He will, however, need help to find them.Enter Alton Rhode.The assassin, Vernon Maples, served with Rhode while in Afghanistan. In fact Rhode was his platoon leader a man he calls skipper. A man he has utmost respect and admiration for. A man who was always there for his men.Maples gets the drop on Rhode at his home. He explains what he's done and what he wants Rhode to do.So begins one damned fine read.This one has murder, attempted murder, a man running for office, his wife, a dead mans girlfriend, the Rahms, a secret from the Viet Nam era, the cousin of a dead man, secrets, friends, enemies, a dog and Alton Rhode searching for answers.Just one great read and Rhode and Demaria still rock. Five stars all the way.
