The Attack
A terrorist team has just set off four explosive devices in an
international airport close to New York City. The leader of the
terrorists, Ahmad Khalin, survives the attack and plans to attack a
second U.S. airport within the month. As Khalin makes his escape
from the New York area he is involved in a shooting in Connecticut.
Clint Smith, a U.S. government agent assigned to an ultra-secret
agency, is at a restaurant across the street when the shooting
occurs. He responds to the scene to see if he can help, but Khalin
is gone. On a hunch, Teresa Deer, Smith's boss, sends Smith after
Khalin. Smith's pursuit takes him to Bar Harbor, Maine; Wiesbaden,
Germany; the Costa Brava, Spain; Northern Scotland; Lake of the
Woods, Ontario, Canada; and finally into Saskatchewan, Canada,
where the final confrontation takes place. Throughout the pursuit,
a number of interesting characters add to the subplots and try to
survive their involvement in the chase.

Reviews: "Sheer excitement from start to finish "
--Bob Hicks, former federal Supervisory Special Agent
"Clint Smith leads a charmed life. After surviving a close combat
situation in Iraq, with nothing more than some broken ribs and
bruises, he gets recruited to an above tier one shadow group that
has no bounds in protecting America's interests and its people.
Bob Doerr weaves an intricate fast paced tale of dogged
determination as Clint chases a mass murderer across North America,
to Europe and back. Can he intercept the man known as Khalin before
he strikes again? You won't want to stop once you're on the hunt
with him. The Attack is a gripping story well told. You won't be
disappointed."
--Buck Stienke, Award Winning Author and Co-Author of the Black
Eagle Force series
Jim West never dreams his demonstration of forensic hypnosis on a
university student would stir up memories of an 18-year old
mystery....
When Jim West, a former Air Force Special Agent with the office of
Special Investigations, moves back to New Mexico his goal is
simple: start an easy- going second career as a part time
professional lecturer on investigative techniques to colleges and
civic organizations. He never envisioned that a practical
demonstration of forensic hypnosis with a state university student
would stir up memories of an 18-year old murder. When the student
is murdered three days later, West finds himself ensnared in a web
of intrigue that pits him and the small town's authorities against
a ruthless, psychotic killer.
An aggressive reporter for the town's newspaper seeks out West to
help her with the story, but after the murder of one of her
co-workers her efforts quickly align with West and the Sheriff. As
West works closely with the reporter, he wonders if this could be
the first real relationship for him since his devastating divorce a
few years earlier.
The killer, though, has other plans for her as he believes she has
become a threat to his anonymity. The story twists and turns,
leading up to dramatic confrontation.
Praise
"Look out for a new hero on the mystery/thriller landscape Jim
West, retired military investigator, is resourceful, intuitive,
pragmatic and always competent. All of West's abilities are tested
when he matches wits with psychopathic serial killer William White,
a man whose appreciation for murder is surpassed only by his
delight in domination. Bob Doerr has crafted a must-read addition
to the genre in Dead Men Can Kill, which evolves from absorbing
story to absolute page-turner as West closes in on a killer who is
supposedly dead. Highly recommended "
" --Dallin Malmgren, author of...

riveting and a bit scary
