Double Tap is a suspenseful, action packed and highly entertaining thriller with a hell of a body count. A buffet of death served up by a fifty-something year old woman who at this stage of her life would prefer serving apple pie at family functions rather than being called to thwart would be assassins. Cindy Dees has delivered another tantalizing story of deceit, spy craft and violence that will satiate even the biggest appetites for blood lust.
Retired CIA assassin Helen Warwick is brought back into the agency to hunt down a Russian mole embedded in the CIA, code name Scorpius. Not only has this individual provided Russia with unparalleled access to American intelligence, but this person has been recruiting psychopaths who have mustered out of the military, training them to become an extremely off-the-books hit squad. With her family at risk, Helen has never been more motivated to succeed. And the only way she can enjoy the peaceful retirement she earned is to go head-to-head with this traitor, expose the conspiracy and put an end to their nefarious endeavors. That is, as long as she can stay alive while being targeted by a bevy of crazy killers.
Once again readers will be captivated with Helen Warwick’s guile, intelligence and deadly skillset as the quinquagenarian woman is called upon to ply her trade one more time in service to her country. But it’s the personal aspect of this mission that hooks you in and keeps you engaged. With her family at risk and past secrets coming to light, the stakes are higher than just stopping a mole. Additionally, Helen’s adversary is equally cunning as more ruthless, willing to do whatever it takes to ensure they come out on top. Which leads to an intense journey for the truth that leaves many dead bodies in its wake.
If you’re middle aged and looking for a protagonist in your age bracket, then this is the series for you. But even if that’s not what you seek, Double Tap provides an array of skills, thrills, and kills sure to entertain thriller fans of all ages.
