In Kill Me Twice, acclaimed suspense writer Jerry Bayne provides action thriller fans an explosive tale. Author of The Gatherer, Bayne picks up the pace and carries the torch. With a biting prose that discerning readers have come to expect, Bayne refuses to pull any punches in illustrating the dark underbelly of our nation’s capital and proves that when it comes to political wrangling, it is nearly impossible to distinguish the good guys from the villains. When the U.S. government wrongs Bradley Cardiff, he refuses to take it on the chin or turn the other cheek. Bent on revenge, the lone Cardiff becomes a killing machine. With his family executed, he has nothing left to lose—he is a loose cannon that wants nothing more than to kill political minions one by one before assassinating the ultimate target. A joint team including Secret Service and the CIA is formed. In an attempt to gain a leg up on their sly fugitive, they will enlist a Boston detective who has a connection with Cardiff.

5.0 out of 5 stars
It grabs you in the first twenty pages and won't let go,
By Charles Ashbacher (Marion, Iowa United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)
This review is from: Kill Me Twice (Paperback)
Shortly after I opened this book, I was hooked, reading it when I should have been doing other things. While it follows the well-used formula of the crack CIA operative going rogue, Bayne carries it out so well that that fact is irrelevant.
Bradley Cardiff is the best operative in the CIA and he and his partner Dave Rountree have been sent to Columbia to observe a major drug transaction. High-level officials in the U. S. government have enlisted U. S. mobsters to engage in a 20 million dollar cocaine deal with a Columbian cartel. As odd as it sounds, the goal of the U. S. officials is to strengthen ties between the new Columbian government and the United States. The deal goes very sour with a shoot-out and the U. S. mobsters lose all their money. In order to make restitution, the U. S. officials pay the mobsters back their money and offer up Cardiff as a sacrifice. However, the hit on Cardiff fails, others are killed and he goes rogue, plotting revenge on the plotters. Police Sergeant Mike Sams is called in to investigate a mysterious death where it is clear that the killer was a pro with a deliberate style of execution. This begins a battle of wits between Sams and Cardiff as they occasionally cross paths, even as the FBI, CIA and Secret Service also pursue Cardiff. Despite being what the federal agents consider a "local yokel", Sams proves to be much more in tune with Cardiff than they are, often being able to anticipate some of his moves, even when the federal agents do not understand. Although Cardiff is a brutal killer, he is portrayed as enough of a human that his character invokes some sympathy, for his desire for justice is justified. This book is a superb thriller, so tightly packed and executed that any question you might have about Cardiff's abilities to do what he does are shunted to the pile of irrelevancies.

Page Turner,
By
This review is from: Kill Me Twice (Paperback)
Kill Me Twice by Jerry Bayne was definitely a page turner. From the beginning, his storyline swept me in and made me want to keep reading. When someone kills the Senator and is doing it out of revenge, you want to find out why. Jerry Bayne tells you just enough to keep you interested but wanting to know more. This thriller was a great book all the way through. I definitely want to check out more books by this author!

Bayne Delivers One Killer Of A Suspense Novel,
This review is from: Kill Me Twice (Paperback)
Since I read so many books every year, I am always on the lookout for something that is fresh, keeps my attention and delivers on a powerful storyline with great characters. Jerry Bayne has given readers of suspense all of that and then some with KILL ME TWICE. A great tale for anyone who is looking for the next big thing when it comes to fast-paced adventures. Bayne is an author to watch out for. KILL ME TWICE was also chosen as one of the Top 100 Books of 2009 by Conversations Book Club. A read of just chapter one will tell you why.
You can't go wrong with this one.
