The feuding McQueen brothers must bury the hatchet long enough to thwart a conspiracy to assassinate a world leader in seventy-two hours. But which leader? Nick McQueen is a down-at-the-heels journalist in Los Angeles who seeks the truth and has trouble getting along with his bosses. His brother Barry is a CIA hit man plagued by personal demons who cares only about national security. Barry dupes Nick into joining the CIA and helping him prevent the Basque hit man from carrying out the contract at a summit in Pike National Forest in Colorado.

Review
Praise for Bryan Cassiday's thriller The Anaconda Complex:
"A unique and much recommended pick for thriller readers."--Midwest Book Review
"A unique and much recommended pick for thriller readers."--Midwest Book Review
From the Author
In my newest thriller The Kill Option I wanted to explore the differences between two brothers. Nick McQueen, a journalist, is motivated by seeking the truth. His brother Barry, a CIA hit man, is motivated by protecting national security. These two characters who end up on a collision course on account of their motivations somehow must find a way to work together when the chips are down and stop an international assassin from inciting World War III.

The Kill Option
Cash-poor, out-of-work reporter Nick McQueen is feeling desperate when his brother Barry, an ex-marine, suddenly appears and says, "I got a job for you." He explains that the killing of two Mexican smugglers near the border needs to be followed up. Nick is instructed to use false identity and to forward intel in two days. To expedite his assignment Nick visits his drug trafficking informant and is greeted with a blow to the head. This not-so-friendly contact later brings more grief and disaster into Nick's life. At a border cafe Nick questions a waitress who admits the dead Mexicans had been there with another man who "had weird eyes." This fact prompts Barry's boss to name the killer The Jack of Hearts after the one-eyed jack in a deck of cards. As an undercover agent Barry now enlists Nick to actively pursue The Jack of Hearts, who is believed to be on the way to assassinate one of the foreign leaders attending a secret summit in Colorado. The assassin's trademark is the brutal slaying of prostitutes. Charmian, a survivor seeking revenge, links up with Nick as he races to thwart the hit man's objective. Fast-paced,with visceral realism, this dark thriller blends action and suspense throughout, and exposes conspirators at the highest levels -- an intriguing read.

I agree with a previous reviewer - decent plot but the writing was all over the place. The ending leaves a lot to be desired and a lot of the 'dialogue' is repetitious.
1.0 out of 5 stars
