Synopsis

An Ebola-type virus unleashed at Disney World. Random car bombings on interstate highways. Children's medicine bottles laced with poison. All the work of a demented but brilliant terrorist determined to blackmail the White House and bring the U.S. government to its knees.

FBI agent Mike Devlin breaks rules--and cases. But the hard-edged Devlin has never faced a manhunt as enormous and challenging as this before. Racing against the clock, scrambling for leads, clashing with fellow G-men, Devlin must break the case before one lone madman holds hostage the security of an entire nation.

About this title

Review:

Nobody understands the workings of the FBI mind better than Paul Lindsay, who was an agent before he took to writing thoughtful, action-packed thrillers such as Code Name: Gentkill and Witness to the Truth, (both available in paperback). Special Agent Mike Devlin, the hero of Lindsay's Freedom to Kill, at first comes off as a rule-breaker and taker of unnecessary risks as he pursues a smart and nasty heavy called the Freedom Killer--an urban terrorist dedicated to inspiring fear in everyday occurrences, such as taking kids to Disneyland or giving someone an aspirin. But Devlin's relationship with his partner, a computer genius with multiple sclerosis, and with the Freedom Killer himself reveal aspects of his personality that quickly make him believable and admirable.
