Review
"A riveting, page-turning thrill ride and a top notch debut. Ten thumbs up." --Victor Gischler, author of Gun Monkeys
"Smith just Smith is a tough as nails killer, a secret operative and tough fighter, and Timothy J. Lockhart makes this adventure a compelling must read. --Gary Lovisi, Paperback Parade & Hardboiled magazines
Smith is a taut, riveting thriller that combines rapid-fire action with nuanced and complex characters. You ll have a hard time putting this novel down and won t want to. --Lou Berney, Edgar winning author
Imagine what a great director—Hitchcock, say—could do with the opening of this fierce novel. A killer named Smith, walking away from a hit, suddenly has a stranger walking alongside, like an apparition born of the night, smiling “a cold smile, reptilian.” Shadow man is a recruiter for a supersecret U.S. agency, and he warns the killer that unless she—yes, Smith is a woman—joins up, he’ll see that she is handed over to the police. Smith knows there’s no choice, and soon she is off to murder a Honduran politician whose popularity is a threat to “U.S. interests.” Is this a setup for an adventure romp? Not quite. There are sequences of edgy suspense and artfully done violence. And generous helpings of sex. One seduction goes on for nine pages. But then we learn, about the moment Smith does, that the agency is managed by loons out to destroy anyone who won’t let them kill whomever they please. All the beautifully wrought scenes are in the service of a chilling story that knows what lurks beneath those superspy romances. — Don Crinklaw, Booklist
