How I have never read a book by this author before now is beyond me. Excellent book with non stop, heart-pounding action! The book is so intense, mostly because it has introduced a very believable storyline. Great writing, great characters, highly recommend!

I was surprised to realize an earlier book in this series was a DNF. I might have to revisit that, because this one was incredibly engaging. As one character put it, "Vanishing bodies, killer Russian mobsters and a blotchy spittin' stripper" in a setting that moves from Russia to interior Alaska... yes, this was a thriller with a twist! Espionage, treason and betrayal make it almost like one of the earlier Bond movies, but with a little more grit.
