Deadly Storm

Kelli Storm #3

by Kenneth Hoss

Detective Kelli Storm and her partner, Eric Ryder, are called to the scene of an apparent suicide only to discover that the victim was a Russian hit man and Kelli was to be his next target.

The trail from the body leads the two Detectives to the underbelly of Brighton Beach, and the Russian Brotherhood that rule there. During the course of their investigation, Kelli discovers a link between them and a powerful Colombian Cartel, the same Cartel she thought had been shut down with the death of its leader.

When the FBI and DEA take an interest in the case, they forge a plan to break up the international drug ring. As they delve deeper, the Cartel and Brotherhood become bolder and they both want Kelli dead. To make matters worse, after an ill-conceived tryst, it’s all she can do to keep her professional and personal lives separate.

Reviews

[Peggy Holloway · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am happy to be the first to review this very good novel by Kenneth Hoss. I liked the first two Kelli Storm novels but I can see this author growing with each book. This one was my favorite. Kelli Storm is one tough bitch. I love her. I love the way the author has made her very human with many faults. He has portrayed a recovering alcoholic to a tee. In this novel, Kelli finds her name on the hit list of a murdered assasin. I don't want to give away any of the plot, but this one is so involved with so many characters that you almost need a map to keep up. I love the way he brought in some of the characters from previous novels. It reminds me a little of Patricia Cornwell. Both authors leave the door open at the end of each book so that you know there is still a bad guy out there to be caught. When is the next one, Kenneth?
