The Red Horse by James R. Benn
4.0
Billy Boyle is recovering from a combination of too much meth and combat fatigue in a special mental hospital for those with top security clearances when he witnesses a man falling from the roof of the hospital. It’s presumed to be a suicide but Billy saw another person on the roof and is convinced it’s a homicide. He keeps that information to himself as he’s concerned his mental state will be further questioned and he’ll never be released.
45% in a reference to the title. Another murder. But wait there’s more. Billy tries to solve these murders while as a patient and even after being cured but he runs into the spook culture of secrecy, a formidable obstacle but one Billy relishes going up against.
After reading this you wonder if the good guys are no better than the bad guys. Deeply personal emotions and a great ending for the next adventure.
