Gallagher has been commissioned by Jeanne Campbell, Jennifer's twin sister, to find a mysterious woman-Jennifer's secret lesbian lover who vanished immediately after the bombing. While the authorities continue to pursue their suspicions that the terrorist act may have been intended for Jennifer's husband, Bill, who holds a top-secret position in the counter-intelligence division of the National Security Agency, Jeanne reveals intricate details to Gallagher that intrigue him enough to take on the case. While Gallagher begins searching for the missing woman, he has no idea that a bounty has been placed on his own head-two hired gunmen are plotting to kill him. Gallagher's search takes him to Washington DC, where he discovers that the car bombing is only a backdrop to a complex, treasonous scheme to sell code-breaking formulas to a hostile enemy nation.
As the violent mystery unravels, Gallagher finds himself under deadly attack from two shocking but powerful forces-one he knows and another he never expects.
My thoughts
Daniel Gallagher is a private detective who wants out of this dangerous game and wants to spend more time with his wife. But he takes one more case when the twin sister of a woman who was killed in a car bombing asks him to locate her sister’s lesbian lover who has disappeared. This takes him from Boston to Washington D.C. where all hell breaks loose. J.P. O’Donnell’s novel Deadly Codes is a fast-paced, action-packed adventure that kept me enthralled right to the end. This book is an easy and fast read to fill one’s need for thrills.
