While Meltzer is an accomplished writer, this novel leaves little to praise. Scattered moments of intensity are too few and far between to keep the story rolling and the rest of the plot is choppy and disjointed. This book reads like a movie, but not a very good one: complete with unnecessary scenes, predictable dialogue, and a carbon-copied antagonist. Not recommended to anyone who doesn’t have a long flight, drive, or waiting room ahead of them.
