gets involved in a series of gruesome murders and Native American mysticism. ”“I enjoyed reading this book quite a bit. The Micah Dalton character is a bit over the top but aren't most of our heros in these spy/action thrillers. Stone does an excellent job of character development to the point where even the most mundane characters take life. My only compaint is that Stone seems to write with a thesarus in his lap and picks out the most oblique and unknown adjectives. I'm glad I read it on my Kindle so I could use the dictionary feature in a heartbeat. A better ending would have garnered a 5 star.”

“Loved it. Micah Dalton is an original character if such a thing exists in the land of spy fiction. I like his sense of humor and quick thinking. He also has a little problem with seeing ghosts which first put me off, but later entertained me. I guess I got used to it. The plot is twisty and convoluted, so stay alert.”

“I certainly hope that David Stone comes out with more novels. This one was so incredibly good that I kept making up errands to do so that I could be in my car listening to it. It was an incredibly suspenseful read and I have to tell you that there are a number of twists and turns so it never gets dull or boring. If you like suspense, mystery or novels featuring "the Company," this one will keep you on the edge of your seat for a long time.

I'll give you the basics (no spoilers, don't worry) but I can't do justice in a short synopsis, so you'll have to just go read it.
Micah Dalton works for the CIA as a "cleaner," and his job is exactly that...when things go wrong in undercover ops, he steps in to take control and clean up the mess left by the situation. Ostensibly he works for a British financial firm, but he's really a company man. So when his very good friend Porter Naumann is found dead (in a not so nice manner) in a small town in Italy, Dalton is sent to survey the situation. He's told by the authorities that it's suicide, but of course Dalton doesn't believe it. So he begins investigating and his findings lead him from Italy to England and then back to the US, trying to figure out why anyone would have wanted to kill Naumann; along the way he uncovers other deaths that connect up with that of his friend. The only link is something called Echelon, but it makes no sense to Micah.
The meat of this story is Dalton's search to unravel the enigma and it's a great ride. I loved this story and I will definitely buy anything else from this author in the future.
Highly recommended for those who enjoy suspense...you will not be let down at all.”
