Death List
Book 1: The Silas Beck Series
In the year 2042, a serial killer prowls the drone-clogged streets of Washington, DC. And it’s a killer that doesn’t seem to be human.
An intelligence official is found strangled in a place he shouldn’t have been. The killer leaves behind no clues, leading some to believe an android perpetrated the hit. Others believe a foreign enemy is behind the intrigue.
After a personal tragedy shook him to his core, Silas Beck thought he had put his detective work behind him. But when longtime friend and Vice President Daniel Rothman asks him to investigate the murder, Beck knows he can’t refuse.
The former detective soon realizes there’s much more at stake than a political grudge gone wrong when a US Senator joins the body count.
As the death toll rises, Beck and partner Tony Chen follow the clues through DC’s darkened back alleys all the way to the highest levels of government. With the public in a state of panic, and a mole operating in the White House, can Beck identify the killer before a nation is brought to its knees?
If you like near-future sci-fi settings, political intrigue, and tough-as-nails detectives, then you’ll love John Sneeden’s fast-paced thrill ride.
