Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Former FBI agent Lindsay (Witness to the Truth) has a vision of his protagonists?in this case the agents of the Detroit office?that makes them a blend of hard-bitten professionals and fraternity cutups. It may be authentic, but it gives his thriller an odd tone, as if neither the thrills nor the bitter, prankish humor are to be taken quite seriously. Agent Mike Devlin, his hero, is always balking at unfair authority. Here, he's out to do two things: first, collar two criminals?a serial killer who specializes in knocking off agents and an extortionist who is planting bombs at a medical center; second, nail his pompous, sleazy boss. The plotting, though swift, is a little too elaborate, with the two story lines never quite meshing as the author seems to intend. But there are plenty of thrills along the way, and a dizzy ransom denouement that is certainly a first in fiction. The book is basically the fictional equivalent of a tough Bruce Willis movie, with the pleasures and limitations of such an approach. Author tour.

From Library Journal
Lindsay turned a few heads with his first novel, Witness to the Truth (LJ 9/1/92), which sold 20,000 copies in hardcover. In this follow-up, G-man Mike Devlin returns to investigate a serial murderer who is targeting FBI agents.

This review is from: Code Name: Gentkill (Mass Market Paperback)
Paul Lindsay's 3 books are some of the best mysteries that I have ever read. I put him up there with James Patterson, Mary Willis Walker and Patricia Cornwell. I couldn't put his books down!

Author Paul Lindsay Is A Treasure,
This review is from: Code Name: Gentkill : A Novel of the FBI (Hardcover)
Now and again - if you are lucky - you stumble across an author who is really good. Author Lindsay is a terrific writer of the action/mystery/detective genre. His books about Devlin of the FBI are all very special. You can't go wrong reading them and I can't praise them enough. See for yourself!
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Code Name: GENTKILL:: A Novel of the FBI (Hardcover)
Paul Lindsay has created a great character in Mike Devlin. The plot is intricate and Paul Lindsay brings it all together at the end. No skimming through this read.
