Just a short review on this.
I have read several of Mr. Hunters books, enjoyed them to varying degrees. This one was good until the last 15 pages or so. When one of the heroes and main characters gets killed while a traitor lives, with her grief and that is all, I sort of loose interest. She was a traitor who gave up security plans to a nuclear weapons facility to another country and her only excuses are; they are our allies (They weren't), she was angry at him, lonely, and her husband shouldn't have left the plans laying around which made it so easy. Okay, I agree on the last part. Throughout the book she is nothing but arrogant, disdainful of anyone not a artist (and disdainful of many of them too), and self serving about whatever she wants. Yet she gets away with being the main reason over 200 solders, law enforcement and a mother die with just walking off to cry alone. At least have her swallow a bottle of sleeping pills and a glass of wine or something. Leaving her to cry just seems a lazy way to deal with her, specially when the good guy gets killed stopping the mess that his traitor wife created.
Okay, with that out of the way, I did enjoy the other 99% of the book. There were some twists I didn't see coming, and a good story line. Over all, a good book.
