REVIEW:
I love a great mystery, one that gives you puzzles that intrigue as well as befuddle, mix a bit of hidden sects and wraps it up with great characters as well as life and death situations. That’s exactly what you get in this, the second thriller by Jon Trace and one that demonstrates what a cracking author he is with a great sense of pace. The book has great action sequences, has wonderful emotional context and when wrapped up at its conclusion with a twist that will leave the reader wondering what exactly he has in store next for the stories two principle characters. All in a fun read and one that whilst taking a good few hours to complete felt that it just rushed by.
