Blink of an Eye

by Tom Mitcheltree

Grant Reynolds' first day on the job starts with a bang. Actually, it starts with a series of pops. Two young people-one, the granddaughter of an American bil-lionaire, and the other, the son of a -Bolivian diplomat-are found shot to death in a Paris alley. Reynolds' job is to investigate crimes against Americans overseas and the deaths of the two victims in Paris plunges him into a complex crime. The deaths are the work of an international hit man, one Reynolds' knows from his past. A connection between the murders and the art world unfolds as Reynolds finds himself digging further and further into the crimes. Throw in car theft, counterfeiting, and drugs and Reynolds has a whole lot of work to do. Tom Mitcheltree is the award-winning author of Katie's Will and Katie's Gold. He is a life-long educator and Oregonian, and has four children.

[Susan Dennis · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a new author for me and an excellent find. Although the book is very short (almost a novella length), Mitcheltree creates great characters and great atmosphere. Grant Reynolds is running from his own ghosts and ends up in Paris where is quickly turns his mundane embassy job into a hunt for The Assasin.
