Reviews

  • A romp of a thriller ... packed with action ... it is a compelling read with some great set pieces and, most of all, that charismatic cast of characters. The book finishes with a strange shock ending - putting in place several threads for the tenth WMC novel. Can't wait.

  • I can't believe how good Patterson is, whether he's doing a Washington police yarn or traveling a different road with a female narrator. He is always on the mark. I have never begun a Patterson book and been able to put it down. - Larry King
