One thing I really like about Katzenbach is that every book of his I have read, about half a dozen so far, have a different premise and unfold in different ways. You really don't know his formula going in. A couple of things are consistent--he tends to get just a little too deep in description, repeats himself a bit, and (this one is good) tends to have really hopeless protagonists that infuriate because they keep doing all the wrong things, then about three quarters of the way in they seem to pull themselves together and decide they will not be a victim anymore and start acting more effectively. This one is different again, not his very best but pretty darn good, and with some unexpected twists.
