With such an eerie cover, you can assume from the get go that this book will not be full of sunshine and rainbows. From the beginning the reader is hooked into a roller coaster of a story with a very large cast of characters that intermingle and switch sides from good to evil. At the center of this story is a father and son, the son Michael, not to be confused with the father who is Matt (I may have had some confusion!) is accused of murdering his girlfriend. Beyond the murder accusation is an international scandal between the United States and Syria which involves many people with some undercover dealings.

The hardest part of this book was keeping straight the large cast of characters, who was a FBI agent, a NYPD officer, pro-Syria, and so on. They each had an interest in the politics that were underneath the murder accusation. Having to diagram the characters was hard and took away from the flow of the book. If you can wrangle in all the characters, this book is a great who dun it with an international twist.
