We have a German "fixer" who is hired by Tony "The Tuxedo" to kill a senator who will expose the crime lord's dealings.
We have a lady cop who is very good at disguises and gets herself into hot water.
We have a senator who is poisoned by the German's son
We have an FBI that has a secret group of agents.
We have a whole group of FBI agents following Tony the Tux, to no avail
The FBI man who does the killing is related to the German but doesn't know it.

It's rare that I abandon a book. I got about 100 pages in and realized I just didn't care. Something struck me as very artificial about the characters, almost cartoonish. Sorry. I'll try one of other books as he comes highly recommended.
This book had a few twists but most were fairly obvious. Unfortunately, the author turned what could have been a really good storyline into a fairly boring book. I had to struggle to get through it and I've already forgotten most of the salient points. Not worth my time.
