Recommends it for:
anyone who wants a real heavy & gutsy no-holds-barred thriller!
This is a real thriller! Starts with a murder and ends with more and plenty of attempts along the way. Trading with arts and antiquities dealers with a fine line between that thieving and smuggling. The Silk Road, the competitiveness of collectors and dealers and some romance and a few significant affairs in the backdrop. Lots of action!

I discovered that traveling the borderline between wonder and insanity creates the most anxious characters and the most chilling...more
