Review: The White Ghost by James R. Benn

Mysterious Reviews: Reviews of New Mysteries, Novels of Suspense, and Thrillers

A Mysterious Review of The White Ghost by James R. Benn. A Billy Boyle, World War II Mystery.

Review summary: This is a strongly conceived, brilliantly executed murder mystery, interweaving (as in past entries in this series) real-life historical figures into a fictional storyline. The time and place are particularly well drawn here. This is one of the best series mysteries currently being written, and each new book is better than the last. (Click here for text of full review.)

Our rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Billy Boyle, World War II Mystery
Soho Crime (September 2015)

Available from Amazon.comAvailable from Barnes & NobleAvailable from iTunesAvailable from Kobo

Publisher synopsis: 1943: In the midst of the brutal, hard-fought Solomon Islands campaign between the Allies and the Japanese forces, Lieutenant Billy Boyle receives an odd assignment: he's sent by the powerful Kennedy family to investigate a murder in which PT skipper (and future president) Jack Kennedy has been implicated. The victim is a native coastwatcher, an allied intelligence operative, whom Kennedy discovered on the island of Tulagi with his head bashed in. That's Kennedy's story, anyhow.

Kennedy was recovering in the Navy hospital on the island after the sinking of his PT-109 motor torpedo boat. The military hasn't decided yet whether to make him a hero for surviving the attack, or have him court-martialed for losing the boat, and the last thing the Kennedy clan wants is a murder charge hanging over his head. Billy knows firsthand that he shouldn't trust Jack: the man is a charmer, a womanizer, and, when it suits his needs, a liar. But would he kill someone in cold blood? And if so, why? The first murder is followed by two more, and to find the killer, Billy must sort through a tangled, shifting web of motives and identities, even as combat rages all around him.

They make do, living off her part-time waitressing job and a little help from the state.

Rosie thinks things are finally turning around when she meets handsome police officer Jérôme — until she realizes that his appearance coincides with her friend Véro's disappearance. Then, something even stranger happens: Rosie finds a package with a crazy amount of money in the trash can of a fast-food joint. With so much going on, Rosie has some big questions: Where is Véro? Is Jérôme too good to be true? Who put all that cash in the trash? And what happens when they want it back?

And now someone from his past, it seems, has come looking for him.

When two men attack Jake in a parking lot and cut off his ring finger, he tries to dismiss it as an unlucky case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. But when events take a more sinister turn and Diane goes missing, Jake knows he can no longer hide from the truth.

As he embarks on a mission to find his wife, he realizes his dark past is refusing to stay buried, and that his future is about to unfold in ways he could never have imagined.

Bannister accepts a high-profile assassination contract due to the influence of old friends. When the contract details change and call for the public execution of a US Senator, Bannister begins to think he's being set up. Walking away or carrying out the contract holds the same price: hunted for life. Unless he and his team can come up with a different solution.

But when the Senator is murdered before Bannister and his team have the opportunity to implement their alternate fix to the problem, they soon find themselves in the crosshairs of a full blown manhunt. On the run, with every law enforcement agency looking for the senator's assassin, can JC and his team discover and then reveal who killed the senator before they get caught up in the web of agencies trying to bring them down? Or will Bannister's former employers exact their revenge for his betrayal?
