The Informant by Thomas Perry

The Informant by Thomas Perry

Perry s novels the best ones are a master class in thriller writing. The Informant should be the newest addition to that syllabus, read for devouring first, and analysis thereafter. Los Angeles Times
The Butcher s Boy is back. Thomas Perry s vengeful assassin has returned to play a deadly psychological game with Elizabeth Waring, the only Justice Department official who ever believed he existed.
The Butcher s Boy knows Waring can help him hunt down the Mafia boss who sent a team of hit men to kill him and in return he offers her key information that will help her crack an unsolved murder. So begins a new assault on organized crime and an uneasy alliance between opposite sides of the law. As the Butcher s Boy works his way ever closer to his deadly enemy in an effort to kill him first, Waring is in a desperate struggle, either to force her unlikely ally to become a protected informant, or to take him out of commission for good.
Excellent . . . Perry offers a compelling, rapid-fire plot, credible Mafia and FBI secondary characters, an indictment of self-serving officialdom, and the old soul-shattering moral dilemma: what is truth? Publishers Weekly
