Crosscurrents is the first book that I have read by Tom Bierdz that is not part of the Psychiatrist Grant Garrick series. Though there are some phycological components (amnesia, sibling love, killing for money, etc), the book is not a psychological thriller.

Demetrius, an assassin, is hired to kill George Tobias, a senator whose proposed anti-crime bill would affect illegal arms sales. As Demetrius studies his target, he sees his sister Amara close to George and postpones the kill. Later, the siblings reunite and discuss the secret their mother revealed on her death bed. Things happen and Demetrius learns that George is his brother. Does he decide to continue with the assassination plan?

This story is convoluted with many interweaving subplots that too conveniently get resolved. Crosscurrents is a quick read, enjoyable as a thriller, but not as satisfying for me as other Tom Bierdz books.
