Foster's Revenge

I enjoyed this fast-paced crime thriller. Luke Foster, an Army Ranger, returns to the States when his half-brother is murdered. As a teen, Luke had learned for the first time that his real, biological father, was a man with mafia connections, who had also had another son, Luke’s half-brother, Vince. The plot of the novel involves the machinations of the mafia families and political intrigue involving a plot to assassinate a presidential candidate. A warm, romantic element is added in the person of an FBI agent, Calico Hayes. As is usual in a novel of this genre, the women are breathtakingly beautiful, and the men are tough, handsome and macho. The story is compelling and suspenseful.
