"A Classic that stands the test of time"
Former Viet Nam vet Dexter Whitlaw kept a book filled with
secrets that he mails to his wife and daughter abandoned by
him two decades ago. His daughter Karen, mourning the
death of her mother, receives the package from her father,
a person she prefers to forget exists. Rather than deal
with him now, she buries the package amidst other
possessions of her mother. Meanwhile in New Orleans, someone kills Dexter and CIA
agent Rick Medina who trailed after him. Police Detective
Marc Chastain investigates the homicide of the John Doe
street looking individual that he quickly learns is Dexter
had a family living in Ohio. Upon learning that she is
now officially an orphan, Karen goes to New Orleans to see
to the remains of her father. However, his past written in
the notebook contained in that package he sent to her leads
from the Nam jungle to the congressional jungle with an
unknown assailant trying to kill Karen. Only Marc keeps
her alive though safe is another story as they uncover the
truth of political power and love. Already a highly regarded author, Linda Howard has written
her best book to date with the incredibly exciting KILL AND
TELL. The story line is fast-paced, filled with action,
and very plausible due to a dynamite lead couple and a
reliable believable support cast. Twists and turns aided
by red herrings and cleverly drawn and placed clues lead to
a wonderful reading experience. Suspense and romantic
suspense fans will relish this powerful tale.(Reprint) Harriet Klausner
