Death of a Citizen

Sarah Sammis

this opening novel is to some degree, a response to the Fleming books. Where Bond is excessively British, Helm is an American from the South West. He eschews the finer things in life for his old, reliable truck. Although a woman is murdered in this book (as the inciting incident), the other women he works with are as competent as he is and do survive. At least by the end of book one, Mrs. Helm is alive and well and quite heroic on her own part.
