A new-to-me author, I'm enjoying the book quit a bit. Lead character reminds me of some of Nelson DeMille's characters, or Brain Haig's Sean Drummond character; smart, smart-ass, somewhat self-effacing. I'm only about 1/2 way through, so I can't comment on how much I like it overall, but I'm sure enjoying the ride so far. Several laugh-out-loud moments interspersed with some thrills and who-done-it. I think I'll be picking up more of his books.
