Confessor

More about the book

In intelligence jargon, a confessor is a specialist in breaking down suspected spies, informants, and defectors through relentless interrogation. Gus Keene was one of the best confessors in the business until terrorists blew up his car on a quiet rural road in the middle of the night. Retired Secret Service agent Herbie Kruger, out of shape and out of form, is called back into service to delve into the circumstances of the death of his former colleague.
