Bert Swain is a public relations specialist at Westside General Hospital who has solved two previous murder cases at the hospital. His reputation for sleuthing is well known throughout the hospital, but for once this backfired. Dr. T. Gordon Stokes, the director, forces Bert to help his sister, Anne De Villiers, who has been threatened by an unknown assailant. Reluctantly, Bert accepts the case. He soon visits an ecological think tank where Anne is the chief. Suspects spring up all over the place, including staff members and opponents to the institution's research and position of several controversial social issues. As he struggle to contend with his fiftieth birthday and his teenaged daughter suddenly assisting him on his investigation, Bert also must deal with increasing violence and the potential use of deadly force. If he fails to uncover the identity of the culprit(s), someone(s) will be soon dead. The third Bert Swain detective story is an interesting tale that will thrill fans of the amateur sleuth investigation sub-genre. The mystery is okay, but it is Bert struggling to contend with a major mid-life crisis ( turning fifty) that turns COUNT YOUR ENEMIES into a novel, way above the typical sub-genre tales.
