Like his other novels, you are automatically drawn into Simone's novels due to his elaborate style of writing and rich use of the English language. His stories are nicely paced, and his characterization of each person in the story is quite marvelous.  While the events of 7/11 might be a bit raw for some people still, Simone handles it admirably well, focusing instead on events in Arabia rather than NY.In this novel, we find Matt Slater, an FBI specialist in the study of the criminal mind, about to to quit his job in the States to take on a fresh new challenge in the Middle East. And what a challenge it turns out to be, with danger and exciting new characters along the way.The plot itself is not so important as the story telling. At this Simone is a master, getting you to turn each page with ease. The joy of this book is truly in the writing.
