Every novel I have read from Reich seems to get better. This is no exception. A fast paced good read that kept me turning the pages. An interesting plot involving the Swiss Intelligence community, the mighty U.S, of A., and of course the middle east. The hero, You always have to have a hero in these thrillers, Dr. John Ransom is easy to like. A good ending ties everything together to set you on your way for the next conflict to negotiate. A definite recommend for any spy thriller reader.
