Publisher's summary

Who want’s Senator Andrew Hawke dead? How many must die to make it happen?

It was a bad day all round for Tommy Biscotti and his friends. All Tommy wanted were a few pills. What he got was a bullet in the back. Hammerhead, Tommy’s source, got two in the head. Jake Burke, Hammerhead’s sidekick, got his brains blown out. Pretty standard stuff for the low lives of the underworld.

But what did it all have to do with Senator Andrew Hawke’s run for governor?

Who is the assassin?

To Harry Starke the answers seem obvious. But as we all know, in Harry’s world, nothing ever is...

"Only fools rush in, right?"

Tom Lennon becomes the self confident P.I. Harry Starke in this, the third book of the Genesis series. When he has a gut feeling, he really should follow it and often does. Fast paced action and several people shot dead as Harry and his team link up with the police and another security group to protect a senator and his wife from the threat of assassination.
Told in the first person from Harry's perspective, Mr.Lennon's narration adds further depth to the already good character development and brings real excitement to the story. Great pacing and intonation throughout with good individual voices for each protagonist. Apart from a need to work on the English accent for one of the characters, his is a fine performance.

My thanks to the rights holder of Assassin, who, at my request, freely gifted me with a complimentary copy. The Harry Starke books of Blair Howard are always a pleasure to read. .

We meet Tommy living with his grandmother and the television .When sold for her prescription medicine, he became high. With crumbled bills, hoping to get a discount, and finding Hammerhead, some where in the derelict area of Hanger town. What he found instead was trouble, and death.
Harry Starke Agency now four years, and hoping for a case with some action.bCall came for Harry, curious and from where Kate had been that evening, he has Tim his tech guy trace number, First order of business, who gave the caller his number, and to take the day by storm. An agent from TSA he meets after another. execution style murder.. She’s investigating a possible assasination attempt of a political candidate. Agent Casey Wu seems like anbbinteresting person, and added a different touch to the plot, hope to hear
more of her. How does this involves Harry’s case, or does it.
I love his books the words flow, the characters are family. We want the action and the case to unfold as Harry and his Agency solves. Each book is better, the inner thoughts of Harry. The closeness of Harry and Kate, and that special feeling each one has for the other in the Agency. ......Given ARC audio for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

Another well-written & enjoyable police procedural

The Assassin (Harry Starke Genesis #3), my seventeenth read from author Blair Howard and the third in the Harry Stark Genesis series. Well-written and enjoyable detective fiction I was given an Audible copy of this book and am voluntarily reading & reviewing it. Narrator Tom Lennon's narration adds to the enjoyment of the book. I look forward to the next book in this series The Lolita Conspiracy: Harry Starke Genesis, Book 4. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

Love this series

The narration is spot on bringing characters to life. Harry Stark finds himself investigating yet another murder. There are twists and turns leading to a satisfying conclusion.
