3.0 out of 5 stars -- This third in the Nick Heller series is fast-paced entertainment.
Nick, a private spy, is called to Washington, DC, to fix a situation involving an internet story about a Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and a prostitute. The narrative is one that involves nonstop action and includes conspiracy and betrayal as well as interaction with a shadowy organization that solves problems for those who can afford them. Nick, trying to separate the lies from the truth, has his usual share of nearly impossible escapes and of courses manages a romantic interlude in the midst of his investigation.
Fans of this author and the series will not want to miss this one. Though very predictable, it was an enjoyable read. Nick Heller is the male hero archetype of this genre and of course the dialog is snappy and his skills very impressive as he seeks justice and an answer in this case.
Thank you to NetGalley and PENGUIN GROUP Dutton for the e-book ARC to review.
