The moment I turned the first page, I could not stop thinking about what could happen next. Marcus Sakey delivers crisp and intriguing pages that fly by with non-stop suspense. Sakey has truly begun with a bang.

It was an entertaining read, no question about it. Seemed Elmore Leonard influenced. Perhaps the ending was a little tidy, and there was another scene or two that seemed a little pat, but I appreciate a book that can keep me glued to it and after mid-way I pretty much was. Not that the beginning was hard getting through either. This book moves quick. I like sit-coms and fast food for the same reason. There's obviously an art to this kind of writing and maybe it's not great literature, but for killing a train ride or two, this one won't let you down.

I picked up this book after having heard the Ben Affleck was going to be making this into a movie. I read through all the reviews and was excited to read it. Boy was I wrong! This book was way predictable, the plot lacking and you could care less for the characters. It didn't hold my attentions and it took me a couple of weeks to finish. I only finish it to see if the ending was what I thought it would be and what do I know it, I saw it coming from a mile away. I was disappoint and hope they reconsider about making the movie.

This was a fun, fast read, but nothing spectacular. I recommend Joseph Finder for off-beat intrigue!

This book had all the ingredients but no depth. It had a plot, characters, a beginning, middle and end but there was nothing to hold you or involve you. I know this is not much of a review but it is typical of the book..it is not quite right and not quite wrong.
