Complex story and loved the Character Edgar Roy and the book The intrigue, suspense and electrifying nature of the story kept my rapt interest throughout the story. It begins with a new way of analyzing intelligence data from all over the world by discovering those rare savants who are able to absorb enormous amount of data and process them akin to a modern computer, but with human intelligence. This person that is capable of performing these analyses becomes an invaluable asset to the country that he serves. The person who discovered this technique began selling consultancy to the American government for enormous amounts of money. Peter Bunting was the discoverer of this method, and indeed, he became exceedingly rich and his asset, Edgar Roy became a desirable asset to have control over for those who had less than the country's interest at heart. So an elaborate plan was devised by persons way high in the government food chain to frame Edgar Roy for serial murders, have him incarcerated and eventually spring him for use on their own nefarious intents. Enter Maxwell and King, private investigators, hired by the attorney who will represent Roy to perform investigations relative to the case. Immediately into the story, the attorney is murdered, their lives become in danger, and everyone who touches the Edgar Roy case is a target. Unraveling this unusual set of circumstances becomes a page-turning thriller that is difficult to put down. For pure intrigue, this book delivers.
