Summary: Excellent thriller
Comment: This is a very good thriller and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. The plot is fast-moving and well constructed. I felt a lot of sympathy for the main character, Danny Cray, because he is not the typical hero, in fact he is what you might call an anti-hero. He often lacks self-confidence, he is a hesitating if clumsy man and so the identification reader-hero is all the more easy. I would compare Danny Cray to Cary Grant in Alfred Hitchcock's "North By Northwest".
Rating: 3
Summary: Not very believable adventures of an amateur P.I.
Comment: Danny, an artist who takes on free-lance investigative jobs in his spare time, is one of the least convincing private investigators in current thrillers. As described by Case, he seems naive, reckless, and clumsy. Hired by a man posing as a wealthy lawyer, Danny stumbles into a plot involving a mysterious religious sect. His adventures take him to Europe and to the wilds of eastern Turkey. He survives potentially fatal situations mostly by dumb luck. His carelessness gets a helpful priest killed. The people around him seem not to notice when he shows up bleeding or soaked with dirty water. Despite losing his belongings, he always has access to money. In the real world, Danny would have been arrested if not killed. Skip this one.
Rating: 5
Summary: Really good. No really, really good
Comment: Great characters that you grow to care about. Interesting plot. Good story. I couldn't put the book down (and have since finished his "The First Horseman"- also great). I was really impressed by this book. I'm now a hooked fan.
