Ex-Library copy In this stand-alone book, Corte is a game enthusiast and applies game theory to his real-life job: being a Sheppard—or protector—of people targeted by hitmen. He calls them his principals. His job is to keep them safe while hunting for the primary—the person or persons that hired the hitmen. In this case, Corte is dealing with a hitman or lifter, named Henry Loving, a particularly ruthless and cruel character who has no problem torturing people, even children, for information. The plot reads like a ping-pong game. First, they're safe—then they're not. A trusted ally suddenly isn't. The principals themselves are innocent, then surprise— Corte discovers maybe, they aren't. The story is like a fast-paced chess game with lots of action and surprises. Then, just when I thought it was a draw, Jeffery Deaver turns over that last card and trumps everything with a little surprise at the end. Good read! aucune critique | ajouter une critique
