Synopsis: 'The CIA is on edge. All signs indicate that something is coming at the United States; perhaps another 9/11, maybe bigger.
The body of a CIA agent is dumped on the steps of the US embassy in Mexico. His last operation was to tap into the communications of the Chinese embassy, but there is no record of why.
The agency again turns to Kirt McCarvey - an old warhorse trying to retire - to figure out the connection between China and the murdered agent.
Hit only informant is a darkly sensuous Iranian belling dancer. Though her story changes with the wind, her shattered mind holds the only clues to the terrifying truth behind the agent's death.' From the book cover.
Review: The only likable character in the whole story is the computer geek. The story drags with dialogue that no one would believe, and details that are completely inane. Although this is one of a series, I won't be reading any of the other books. ( )

This book was a disappointment for me.
Very little action.
Mostly conversations that didn't seem to amount to much and the dialog was not as good as previous novels, felt stilted at times.
It looks like this is the lead-in to the next crisis, but this could have been done in less then 100 pages of that book. ( )

Not too horrible... Lots of fine action, spy stuff, and dialog. One thing I found irksome was the 'it is going to be a great/exciting/mind blowing/unbelievable ending' theme/push the main character kept presenting. It made the conclusion a bit disappointing. No way could it live up to the hype. If it did, it would have been the best book I have ever read. ( )

I didn't enjoy this book as much as some of his earlier books. Too much of the story was told by characters in flashback mode instead of real time action. Also, the ending was kind of anti-climactic leaving the reader thinking that the next book would continue the story line. ( )

Didn't like it. Lots of sex but not romantic, sexual parties, sexual killing etc. The end of the book was disappointing. Not well wrapped up and left you wondering if they stopped the terrorist plot. My first book by this author and not sure I want to read more. I like spy thrillers normally, but this one was a disappointment although I mostly liked the hero McGarvey. ( )
