BLEEDING HEARTS by Ian Rankin

Finished Fr 4/22/11

Michael Weston, Sniper Agent (D-MAN "Demolition Man' After taking his shot, he explodes something to divert attention.)

Leo Hoffer, PI in pay of former Senator. His daughter was killed by Weston in error.

Max Harrison, Arms dealer in rural England. Father of Belinda Harrison. She takes up with Weston, after her father is murdered and beheaded.

Spike, Texas Arms dealer who helps Bel and D-Man. He supplies the artillery, and does it for the Trans Am that Bel and Weston are driving. (Spike calls him 'Wild West')

DISCIPLES OF LOVE, Cult which was mistakenly funded by CIA dollars, Five Million.

Kline, Rogue CIA agent who is trying to stop mistake from becoming known

Eleanor Ricks, Journalist who D-MAN shoots, but somebody had tipped off the police

(SPOILER: She did it to facilitate her own suicide, and try to find out, and expose, the funding of THE DISCIPLES OF LOVE)

This was an interesting novel, and not at all like the John Rebus series by the author. I like this novel, and the Rebus collection as well.
