A very good thriller about two brothers whose lives take different paths after being brought up in an orphanage. Unfortunately, Hart's writing is a bit off at times, but the unlikeability of Elena (she and Michael just don't seem to fit in my opinion) and part of the ending turned this into a 3 star instead of what likely would have been a 4 star read. I do enjoy reading Hart, though, and will continue to check his books out in the future. ...more

I think the whole hitman/mob boss thing works against Hart's strengths and ultimately drags down the story. ...more
