Too Close to Kill? A Novel

From the author of The Reign of the Stavka: The United States is in the grips of a major constitutional crisis caused by a too-close-to-call election, in which even the Electoral College fails to select the President. The unabashedly ambitious and stunningly beautiful democratic vice president Charlotte Reid has fallen three votes short of the 270 needed to defeat the winner of the popular vote—the charismatic ex-NFL quarterback and former Oklahoma governor David Houston. Amid the chaos, Robert Cannon, an investigator for a small Georgetown law firm, is pulled out of retirement by the CIA to carry out an assassination—not a Cold War termination in a foreign country, away from American soil for which he had become so renown in intelligence circles. Rather, his target is a 100-year-old congressman from the State of Mississippi. A day later, agents from the Pentagon demand he take on a similar mission. The target—an aging female justice of the Supreme Court. Coincidence? Hardly! In this election, is it too close to kill?Anderson, Timothy Burton is the author of 'Too Close to Kill?
