Pursuit was a great suspense novel. It's basically a story of two professional hit men going toe to toe. Both are great at what they do and it's fascinating to see how they go about trying to outsmart the other one.

The story starts out with a shooting in a restaurant. A former cop/homicide expert is in town for a talk and the local cops give him a call just to get his take on the crime. He walks through the scene and determines that it's not some random crime but instead a professional that was hired to take out one particular person - the killer only trying to make it look like some whack job. Then this expert gets a call from one of the victim's relatives and he decides to give the man the phone number of a professional hit man to do his own investigating - because he knows the cops are never going to be able to catch up with the guy and this is one man that is young and will only keep getting better and killing more people.

So now you have one hit man hired to take out the other hit man. It's a good book and it's unique because both men are so evenly matched that you never know which one is going to be the "winner."

I'm looking forward to reading more of Thomas Perry's books, one of which I found today on Barnes and Noble's website for under $2.00 - SCORE!
