Killer Pursuit
by Jeff Gunhus
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Thriller
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
When a secret webcam is found in the Georgetown bedroom of a murdered
high-society call girl, everyone in Washington, DC wants the
recording...especially the killer.
After a
high-society call girl is brutally murdered in her Georgetown home,
investigators find two cameras hidden in the walls of her bedroom. One has its
memory erased, presumably by the murderer. The second is a webcam with an
encrypted connection...and no-one knows who's on the other end. Whoever has the
recordings has embarrassing leverage against some of the most powerful men in
DC, not to mention a video of the murder showing the identity of the killer.
FBI
Special Agent Allison McNeil is asked by beleaguered FBI Director Clarence
Mason to run an off-the-record investigation of the murder because of the
murder's similarity to a case she worked a year earlier. Allison knows the most
direct path to apprehending the killer is to find the videos, but rumors that
the victim's client list may include some of Washington's most powerful men
makes her doubt the director's motives. As she starts her investigation, she
quickly discovers that she's not the only one pursuing the recording...but that
the most aggressive person racing against her might be the murderer himself.

EXCERPT:
Allison McNeil tensed when she spotted the first
shadow dart through the mist and take cover behind a tree. In the early-morning
light it took her a while to pick out all six members of the Hostage Rescue
Team approaching the cabin, but within a minute she could clearly see the
tactical team converging on their target.
The small building stood on a rise, up from the
swampy, flood-prone land around it. Wood-slated walls tilted precariously
inward, twisting the windows into deformed rectangles. Moss and dead leaves
covered the roof. The place smelled and looked like decay, well on its way to
inevitable reclamation by the weeds and vines choking the cabin to a miserable
death.
And, if Allison was right, the place deserved what
it got. Hell, if she was right, she had half a mind to take a match to the
place after everything was done.
