A Gritty and Authentic Police Thriller from a Real-Life Top Cop

In Time of the Assassins, Hugh Holton, the highest-ranking active police officer writing today, delivers a powerful, passion-charged novel that tackles the controversial story of the CIA's apparent funding of counterinsurgent drug lords in Latin America. Instead of fighting revolutionaries, these drug lords have used that funding to wholesale crack cocaine in America's inner cities.

Commander Larry Cole finds himself battling these Agency-funded criminals and their personal representative, Baron von Rianocek, a notorious assassin and "problem solver" suspected by the CIA, FBI, and Interpol of eliminating high-profile targets. Crossing paths with this elusive millionaire hitman, Cole becomes his next target.

Reviewers have compared Holton's suspenseful and action-packed novels to "hurricanes" and "firestorms." With his authentic insight as a top cop, Holton delivers a gripping and realistic police procedural that will keep readers on the edge of their seats.
