Author: Mt. Healthy Mountaineer
Subject: ANHOW Review of Books - "Last Rights" by Philip Shelby

Genre: Thriller
Published: 1997 by Pocket Books

This political / action thriller revolves around the murder of a Colin Powell-type successful black general that was staged to look like a plane crash. Army Warrant Officer Rachel Collins discovers a clue to the actual cause of the general's death while investigatig another crime and a nation-wide chase ensues while victims fall all over the place at the hand of the professional assassin "The Engineer."

It started out slow but the middle part of the book is really quite good. Shelby creates good tension and the main characters get banged up most thoroughly and realistically. On balance, I give this book a "B+".
