Critiques
This book required a lot more suspension of disbelief than I usually can muster. It's not that the general events were so improbable, it's the omniscience of Sam Spade that got my eyes to rolling. Once I accepted that it would be "that type" of book, the story became really very enjoyable.

I loved Docker! He was like a dark, dark version of Jack Reacher, and an even crazier Anton Chigurh!

I really enjoyed this book, and I loved the twist at the end! Bravo!… (plus d'informations)
