Blood Lines
From New York Times bestselling authors Nelson DeMille and Alex DeMille, Blood Lines features the return of Army CID Special Agents Brodie and Taylor who are on the hunt for the cold-blooded murderer of one of their fellow agents.
Army Criminal Investigation Agents Scott Brodie and Maggie Taylor have been separated for five months following their last assignment, a dangerous mission in Venezuela to locate and detain an infamous Army deserter. Now, in Berlin, they are reunited and tasked with investigating the murder of one of their own: CID Special Agent Harry Vance of the 5th MP Battalion, an accomplished counterterrorism agent who had been stationed in western Germany, and whose body was discovered in a city park in the heart of Berlin’s Arab refugee community.
The authorities suspect this is an act of Islamic terrorism, but Brodie and Taylor soon believe there is more to this case. The reason for Vance’s presence in Berlin is unknown, and as Brodie and Taylor work to discover what the murder victim was doing in the days and weeks preceding his death, they become immersed in the many conflicts and contradictions of modern Germany—the Arab refugee crisis, the dark legacy of the Cold War and the Stasi secret police, and the imminent threats of a rising neo-Nazi movement. At the same time, they are butting heads with the authorities—both German and American—and facing a possible threat from American intelligence agents who fear that Brodie and Taylor might have learned too much about US clandestine operations during their mission in Venezuela.
Ultimately, Brodie and Taylor realize that the murder of Harry Vance was merely the prelude to a much more sinister future event—unless they can unravel the mystery in time to stop it.

Love DeMille, but this could have been 600 pages not 1000…

Have read most of DeMille’s books through the years and this would be low on my list. Took forever to get to the heart of the story. Scott was just too macho in so many paragraphs The final portion stepped up and saved what was a drawn out read Look for older DeMille books for a better read

I enjoyed reading this book, even though the “German” language was hard to follow at times and, some of the “technical” back and forth was confusing at times. However, the dynamic between the two main characters was interesting and amusing.

Love these characters, the banter and the fast pace of the storyline!

I have always liked the author’s books. They’ve had a good plot and had touches of humor. This one, however, was draggy. It reads like the publisher insisted on more length and the author put in additional words that added nothing to the story. And the story is weak. Avoid this book unless you need naps.
