Great author... have enjoyed reading several of his books.
i loved it
Conner Fitzgerald CIA assassin comes fact to face with an enemy he can’t handle….his boss
An international thriller. There is plenty of fun and suspense.
I have always had a weakness for a Jeffrey Archer caper and this is no exception. Career CIA troubleshooter is hung out to dry by an opportunistic President. Operative is then sent to kill Russian Communist candidate in hopes he in turn will be killed by either CIA, Russian Mafiya or secret police. Thought provoking with many red herrings.
Jeffrey Archer never stops writing good books, a real page turner.
A first rate international thriller with a slam-bang climax. A lot of fun to read. Wouldn't want a boss like Helen Dexter!
Not one of Archers' best books, but an enjoyable quick read.
"Involving and convincing...Archer hashad an inpressive and steady career as a writer of compulsivelyreadable suspense novels. He specializes in the unexpected plot twist, the surprise ending...Archer[Has] the Ineffable Gift of a natural storyteller and he brings to the page a romance and a sentiment often missing in the genre."
