First of a trilogy involving Hector Cross, who is sort of a combination of James Bond and Smith character Sean Courtney. Like many of Smith's adventures, the good guys/bad guys are sharply delineated. Head of a security company, Cross works for a major oil company. This book involves Cross's efforts to rescue a kidnapping victim in the oil company owner's family. This author's books seem to contain more violence than his older novels, and this one is no exception. Fast moving and intriguing story.
