Top Secret Kill


The D.C. Man #1: “Top Secret Kill” by James P. Cody*. Brian Peterson works in DC as a Lobbyist. However, he has become better known as a go-to man to solve your problems, and in Washington senators always end up with problems. Ex-football player, and ex-military intelligence operative, he knows how to use weapons, including judo and karate. Senator Haynes Brickman has a leak in his committee, and classified documents are being passed to foreign governments. He hires Peterson to investigate and stop the leak, no matter what it takes. A fairly good story, with some good action, and a nice plot, but the really interesting thing about this series is, it was written by a priest. *James P. Cody is his birth name, but when he joined the priesthood he took the name of Peter T. Rohrbach. I didn’t uncover this data, someone else did, and I apologies for not remembering the researcher’s name. It’s obvious that the author read some men’s action novels before writing his own series. This is a lot more tame than most of the men’s action novels, still the author did a good job on his first outing with Top Secret Kill.
