Genre: Espionage
Title: The Killing Ploy
Author: Steve Haberman
Intricate plotting is probably
more necessary in a spy novel than in any other story and The Killing Ploy has
it in spades.
While there are many characters
including the good, bad and ugly, CIA agent Pablo de Silva is our main man as he journeys from Langley,
to San Diego, Tijuana, London, Paris, Brussels and Vienna in pursuit of an
American-born jihadist who might be preparing to raise the body count in
his war against America.
Unbeknownst to Pablo and while
he thinks he is being given a second chance after a screw-up that cost lives,
he is actually being used as bait to flush out and fiend the jihadist whose
whereabouts and current appearance are unknown.
Suffice it to say Pablo does
have his talents. He is fluent in four languages, is patient and very
observant, and is desperate to clear his reputation as he plays the deadly cat
and mouse game of espionage.

Summary
The start of The Killing Ploy
was a bit slow but spend the time because you will soon be engrossed in this
excellent spy novel where spies are following spies and you are never certain
of who are the good guys and who are the bad guys until the end – and maybe not
even then as you ask yourself, “Is there any difference?”
