I found this book so predictable just about anyone could have written it. I was very disappointed in the quality of this story.
This book is very slow at the beginning, and then becomes a story that you can't put down. Endure the first few chapters, for the remainder is full of surprising plot twists.

I did not like this book because the dialog seemed very stilted and contrived. The main character, who is supposed to be the brightest of the bright, makes too many dumb mistakes to be believable.
Another of Meltzer's novels that is filled with intrigue.
