Keeper by Gene Rucka

Shooting abortion doctors is so 1990's.

Read this book. No better way to say it.

A taut, exciting read that keeps you interested all the way through and no part of the book ever seems implausible. No happy endings either, which I sometimes like in my fiction.

Atticus Kodiak, so The Man by the way and very much in need of a TV show, (FX, what are you replacing "The Shield" with?) and his small private security force try to protect an abortion doctor in 1996 or so against the crazed attempts on her life. Much heartache and tragedy befall the characters along their path from clinic to Peace Conference to cemetery

My path to this book - I was reading the 3rd Queen & Country Definitive Edition TPB. Preceding one chapter was a note that it followed the novel A Gentleman's Game. After clicking around Amazon for a couple of minutes it turns out Gene has written many books. Bought several, this was the 1st I read.While I know they don't count to the 100, I highly suggest everyone read Queen & Country as well.
