Q&A with Russell Blake
Q Silver Justice is a departure from your usual action/adventure thrillers. Why a police procedural/serial killer epic featuring a female protagonist?
Russell I got the idea for a strong female protag who was a take no prisoners Fed when I was thinking about a sequel to Fatal Exchange. I sort of thought, wouldn't it be interesting to write a Silence of the Lambs kind of main character, a la Agent Starling, but make her more experienced, & have her dealing with a host of complications from her personal life even as she's involved in the most important case of her career? I wanted her to be really richly drawn, & complex, & struggling with issues that are catastrophic, so the pressure just keeps mounting until you're wondering what more can happen without her head exploding. And I wanted her to be very smart, & capable, but also address the issues of a female swimming upstream in a male-dominated career. I like the way Silver turned out. She became very real for me as I wrote the book, & I can envision her carrying a whole series. She's definitely got the depth to do it.
Q The book explores the causes of the 2008 financial crisis & posits a frighteningly plausible conspiracy.
Russell I've always been uncomfortable with the official explanations for how the entire market for mortgage backed securities could collapse overnight, triggering a run on the stock market & a tunneling of some of the biggest names in American finance, & plunging the world into crisis. As I began researching the root causes, I quickly arrived at a number of extremely disturbing conclusions. The more I researched, the worse it got. By the time I was done, I felt like I could write a 500 page treatise on the topic, & the art was to synthesize all of that into something believable, digestible, and upon which I could frame the story without browbeating the reader. I think this book is probably my most believable conspiracy yet, so much so I'm very uncomfortable saying where the truth ends & the fiction starts, assuming it starts at all. I will say that the 2008 crisis is the crime of the century, if not all recorded history, & the hypothesis I provide will jar & disturb any thinking person to the point that they're sitting back going, "No way." The horrible part about it is that much of it is truth parading as fiction. Interested readers can research the meat of it, & I guarantee it will alter their world view. Not too many fiction novels can stake that claim.
Q Silver Justice is harshly critical of the market & the regulators, as well as the entire political machine. Why?
Russell We're living through extraordinary times - a once a century redistribution of wealth. As I educated myself on the causes of the Depression & the 29 Crash, I was struck by how corrupted all the elements of the system are, & probably have been for eons. I think most people believe that the cops are honest, & that there are protections in place. They are sorely mistaken, & it costs them dearly for their misconceptions. As an aside, I'm sure that this novel will be extremely unpopular with the financial industry. Nobody wants the warts of the system displayed for examination, especially if their livelihood depends on everyone believing all is well. In the end, I leave it for readers to make up their own minds.

Silver Justice showcases Russell Blake at his best. I'm not going to lie. When I heard that the protagonist for Blake's newest release would be a divorced, single woman, juggling between duties as a senior investigative FBI agent and struggling mother...I was skeptical. I will never again doubt the literary capabilities of this prolific author.Blake's latest thriller combines all of the aspects he does best into one story. Fans of Blake's conspiracy undertones will not be disappointed, however, Blake has matured in the way he injects his patented, research-based conspiracy theories into the story. Though the conspiracy weighs heavily, it propels the story from behind the scenes. Always present, but never overwhelming. In this story, the characters drive the drama...speeding along at breakneck pace. Silver Justice delivers plenty of action and suspense, but at its heart, this is a rock solid police procedural thriller.
Focused on tracking down a serial killer terrorizing Wall Street high rollers, Agent Silver Cassidy has her hands full. Her task force has no leads, a contract has been put out on her head, her slimy ex-husband has just filed for full custody of her daughter...and that same daughter isn't making matters any easier on her. Add to all of this a subtle dimension of sexual discrimination/glass ceiling syndrome, and Agent Cassidy can barely keep her head above water. But she does....and Blake captures her essence masterfully. He kept me fully engaged in her character from start to finish.
Beside Silver Cassidy, there are several memorable supporting cast members: an intelligently humorous "consulting" agent, a sadistic biker gang leader, a nefariously wry Russian mafia boss, and my favorite, Agent Heron. I cheered every time he showed up. You'll quickly understand why...if the FBI had one agent like this in every major city, crime would slow to a trickle within a week.
Blake clearly took his time with this one, shifting his focus and skills from the insanely paced, explosive Assassin series, to this thoughtful, exciting thriller.

Silver Justice edition by Russell Blake Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Wealthy, well-connected hedge fund managers turn up murdered by an unknown killer who calls himself The Regulator. The last time most people heard much about hedge funds was during the financial collapse of 2008. And that economic meltdown provides a pointed frame to Russell Blake's intriguing crime thriller Silver Justice. The collapse almost becomes a character in it's own right, a malevolent vengeful spirit still eager for blood.
The Regulator in Silver Justice is not a mindless splatter fiend, however. This is a killer with an agenda. He's clever and seemingly always one step ahead of the FBI. Blake doesn't make it easy on his main character, FBI agent Silver Cassidy, who's the head of the FBI team tasked with taking down The Regulator. Cassidy is surrounded by challenges. She must get her team working together, deal with her devious ex-husband and somehow keep her wits as the case becomes increasingly personal and devastatingly close to home.
Blake further complicates Cassidy's life by introducing a budding love interest amidst the mayhem. While Agent Cassidy's personal issues can sometimes slow things down a bit, Silver Justice is more than rich enough with action and sophisticated investigative work as Cassidy and her team race to find The Regulator before he kills again.
The financial collapse might be just background color in some books, but in Silver Justice we learn some fascinating history about the financial doings of the 2008 disaster. Blake leads us to believe there are even more disturbing and shrouded reasons for the meltdown than we have been told by the media. He does this deftly, however, never allowing the big canvas to obscure the tense immediacy of the hunt for the murderer. Silver Justice comes highly recommended.
The plot was superb and kept my interest to the point that I did not want to stop reading when necessary, Silver was very human, a single mom trying to cover all the bases, which she did quite well as was humanly possible. She was dedicated to her FBI job, but at the same time had to deal with a 10-year-old daughter going on 16! I will not dwell more on the mother-daughter relationship for fear of giving away too much of the story in advance,
One of my favorite books, and I want to enjoy other books by Russel Blake, who is very talented.
From the prolific author Russell Blake comes another spellbinding crime thriller. So many of his novels portrait strong women in the field of law enforcement. In this novel it is Silver Cassidy, an Assistant Special FBI Agent in Charge. Intensely busy in her career, she is also a single mom of 10-year old Kennedy, who you will come to think of as more like an outspoken teenager. Silver's team is involved with hunting down a serial Killer on the West Side of New York City, where four victims have been murdered over just a few weeks. The last victim has just been beheaded. The killer calls himself "The Regulator" in notes he's left at each of the killing sites. Since all victims were connected with the financial business world, such as hedge fund management, FBI Agent Richard Gale of the Washington DC Financial Crimes Unit arrives to assist Silver's investigation. To further complicate and stress Silver is her ex-husband's threat that he is filing for custody of Kennedy. Oh, there's one more caution that Silver has to confront someone has paid a hired killer to her out. Needless to say, this is one exciting page-turner story that delivers high action. It's more than a detective story in that the more serious aspect in this story deals with the real economic collapse of the American economy and gives very valid reasons as to why. This is another very worthy book from gifted Author Russell Blake.
