David Healey - Red Sniper

“Major Dickey tried to assassinate us.”

“Dickey.” The senator practically spat out the name. “There are some concerns that there may be a rogue faction working in league with the Soviets.” The senator paused. “Communists through and through. It sounds like Honaker was one of them, and Dickey too. If Dickey is smart, he won’t show his face again. That’s also why the president needs you to keep quiet about all this. We just fought a war. We need to appear unified. Can you do that, Harry? Can you keep quiet?”

“What about the others? We weren’t the only Americans being held as pawns by the Russians.”

“We can’t save the world all at once, Harry. The best that I could do was to save you. One war ends and another begins. I’m getting old. We need young people like you to fight this new war. And win it.”

Harry didn’t look happy, but he nodded. “That was quite a speech, you know. You ought to be in politics.”

The senator turned to the others in the room. “What I just said to Harry goes for everyone here. We live to fight another day. Right now, we’re heading back to Germany.” His gaze settled on Cole. “Better make sure you bring along your rifle.”

“Anyone who has fixed up an old house or who loves old houses will find reading this mystery set on Maryland’s Eastern Shore much more enjoyable than actually having to patch plaster walls and repair old windows themselves. This book jazzes up old house lore with a fresh coat of small-town history and mystery.”

“David Healey peoples his novel with fully fleshed characters, putting them in a setting on Maryland’s Eastern Shore you just know has to be real. Along the way you learn a lot about the work that goes into renovating an old house. He does all this with an easy writing style and sly touches of wry humor.”

“There are some laughs, some sex on the beach, a spooky bad guy who plays really bad music in a beach band, and plenty of landmarks and local flavor included, from the Rehoboth boardwalk to Browseabout Books to Grotto’s pizza.”

“To the list of potentially fatal risks at the beach—such as riptides, lighting and sunstroke—add being kidnapped for your kidneys. That’s the premise of Beach Bodies , the first comic thriller and 13th book by David Healey… The quiet of the marshes, the behavior of beach cops (‘What do you do, arrest people for wearing sneakers with dress socks?’) and the delicate nesting habits of plovers also matter.”
