The Reapers - John Connolly
This is a hard novel to classify and describe, but an easy story to follow and enjoy. Louis and Angel are hired killers, handled by men that act as agents and used as simple tools of destruction. A fellow reaper ends up dead in a bar bathroom, stabbed through the heart, and an attempt on associates of Louis and Angel follows. They are hired by the “enemy of their enemy” to hunt down a reclusive criminal boss, and get pinched in the process by a double-cross that lands them in the sights of Bliss, a reaper hired to delete the men that killed his son many years before. This novel holds the reader’s attention, and is different than anything I’ve come across elsewhere. I’d definitely pick up another of this author’s books.
