A Harrison & Swann Thriller #4
The Procession
A dead government official leads a dogged agent deep into the underbelly of the Bayou
Maxwell Carter had the perfect racket going. Working as a fingerprint analyst near Washington, DC, Carter would contact the suspected perpetrator whenever he found a matching print for an old crime. Then, for a certain fee, he would forget what he had found. A dubious yet profitable scheme—that is, until Carter got on the wrong side of some very dangerous men.
When Special Agent Johnny Harrison finds Carter dead, tied up in a pool of his own blood, it doesn’t take long to find the killer: a murderer of children who works on the Mississippi. To solve the case, Harrison must go deep undercover into the seamiest parts of the Big Easy. As Harrison comes closer to his answers, he uncovers a secret that could destroy New Orleans—if it doesn’t destroy him first.

About the author
Jeff Gulvin
18 books8 followersAKA J.M. Gulvin.
Jeff Gulvin is the author of nine novels and is currently producing a new series set in the American West. His previous titles include three books starring maverick detective Aden Vanner and another three featuring FBI agent Harrison, as well as two novels originally published under the pseudonym Adam Armstrong, his great-grandfather’s name. He received acclaim for ghostwriting Long Way Down, the prize-winning account of a motorcycle trip from Scotland to the southern tip of Africa by Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman. The breadth of Gulvin’s fiction is vast, and his style has been described as commercial with just the right amount of literary polish. His stories range from hard-boiled crime to big-picture thriller to sweeping romance.
Half English and half Scottish, Gulvin has always held a deep affection for the United States. He and his wife spend as much time in America as possible, particularly southern Idaho, their starting point for road-trip research missions to Nevada, Texas, or Louisiana, depending on where the next story takes them.

A gripping tale filled with tension all the way through. Set in the bayou country this book had many twists and turns. This is not the kind of book I would normally pick up and now that I've read it I fear it may have a lot of truth in it.

Doesn't have the x-factor for me to not want to put it down. It gets predictable towards the end but is action-packed as a thriller should be.
