It is not enough that the tobacco industry has been slowly killing people for a century or two‘now they've hired a mysterious contract killer to take out a witness to their nefarious deeds. In this third thriller by Rucka (Keeper, LJ 5/1/96; Finder, LJ 6/1/97), professional bodyguard Atticus Kodiak is hired to protect Jeremiah Pugh, a biomedical research scientist. Pugh is willing to testify that DTS Industries puts additives into their products to make them more addictive. If this allegation stands up, it will leave DTS open to lawsuits costing zillions of dollars. But Smoker, despite the title, is less concerned with the evil cigarette companies than with thwarting a clever killer‘there's a lot of Hollywood, Steven Seagal stuff: guns, bombs, explosions, fighting. Several ongoing characters left over from the first two books are insufficiently reintroduced, and the plot line is minimal, but otherwise this is not a bad book for thriller fans.‘Dawn L. Anderson, North Richland Hills P.L., TX
