The Killing Kind, Holm - B

                                             This is a novel about hit men, whom I'll identify as H1's, H2 and H3.  The H1's are employees of different US mobs who are killed by H2 (Hendricks), while trying to pursue a hit. H2's motivation is purely financial. He approaches the targets and asks for 10x the price of the hit in order to save them. H3 (Engelman)is hired by the Council (leaders of the various US mobs) to take out H2, because he's messing with their business model. The FBI is in pursuit of Hendricks and discovers the existence of Engelman at a disastrous public event where an H1 is stopped by Hendricks, but only after a great many die.  Hendricks and Engelman  tangle in their climactic armageddon a few days later. All in all, a pretty good read.
