The King Of Fear: A Garrett Reilly Thriller - Plot & Excerpts
Ilya sat quietly in the corner of the motel room while Thad had sex with the young woman Ilya had procured for him. Ilya guessed, from Thad’s energy and enthusiasm, that he hadn’t slept with a woman in quite a while. Ilya also guessed this because Thad was pale, with long, stringy, unwashed hair, bad skin, and a nasty case of body odor. But Thad, while unattractive, had three qualities that Ilya found useful. First, he was readily available; Ilya had contacted him only last night, and Thad had agreed to help right away. Ilya had met Thad on a previous trip to the States, at a gaming convention, and had kept his name and number on file as a person to call in a pinch. Yesterday had been that pinch. Second, he was easily manipulated. Thad wanted desperately to be part of a group, what he considered the in-crowd, and was willing to do almost anything to get there. Alienated people who were anxious to be socially accepted were perfect targets for Ilya, and he had long ago learned to read that part of their characters at a glance: the too-eager response, the submissive posture, the obsession with other people’s opinions.
