She lay on her back, spread-eagled on the bed. He knelt over her, and then put his hands around her neck. She closed her eyes, ready for him to lean down and kiss her again. But he didn’t, and the pressure on her neck started to increase. Jesus, it hurt. “Would you ease up? You’re hurting my neck.”
“I know,” he replied. Her eyes flew open. The pleasant, good-looking guy had gone, and what stared down at her was the face of a monster.
...So, we have a killer and as this story unfolds, a serial killer. Meet Gabriel de Sade, our tough New York cop and veteran of the illegal American invasion of Afghanistan. He is the tough no-nonsense cop on the trail of this serial killer who has murdered 2 victims before this novel begins.
Gabriel just starts his investigation when he is joined by FBI Special Agent Faith Ward. From this point onwards this story leaves reality. The start of this book was so good but then the action is so far fetched, it is comical. There is love and plenty of gun-ho action as our hero searches to bring the serial killer to justice. There are many flash backs as Gabriel relates his current investigation to his experiences in Afghanistan.
Killing Faith gives the reader a good insight into the Russian mafia and their use of extreme violence to intimidate their helpers. The ending of this book comes as no surprise because you knew that Gabriel would get the killer in the end.
I will vote this novel 3 stars on Good Reads as it is okay. It fills my daily read requirement but only just. This book was written in 2011 and I downloaded the 267 KB Amazon Kindle version.
