"Dead Men's Harvest" is Matt Hilton's 6th book in his Joe Hunter series. Joe's former (and sometimes current) CIA contact, Walter Hayes Conrad, makes a decision that costs the lives of some of Joe's friends and acquaintances and Joe is angry. Before he confronts Conrad about that, though, he sets out to avenge the deaths and prevent more.
In the meantime, Joe's long time friend, Rink, is missing and Joe fears he knows who might have him. Can he get to him before he, too, ends up dead? He enlists a friend of his and Rink's (Harvey Lucas) to help him locate Rink.
It seems a killer known as Tubal Cain survived when Joe thought he'd killed him. At the time Joe was rescuing his younger brother, John, from Cain. Now that John is set to testify in court against his former boss, Cain appears on the scene looking for revenge - a revenge that not only suits his purpose but will make it impossible for John to testify which suits another man's purpose. If Joe Hunter should show up to rescue his brother, killing two birds with one stone (so to speak) would be even better.
When I started reading this book and discovered Tubal Cain was still alive and was going to once again go on a killing spree, I wasn't sure I wanted to proceed. However, I did get caught up in the twists and turns of the plot and was glad I followed it to its satisfying conclusion. Will Tubal Cain reappear in future books? It appears very unlikely but then again I didn't think it was likely he'd show up in this one either! pazt
