Desmond Cory is a personal favorite of mine. He never fails to captivate me with his interesting characters and in depth knowledge about the plot of his stories. But to be honest, when I first bought this book "This is Jezebel" I thought this will be another action literature. I was already thinking about how it can differ much with the Fedora series, because a detective and a spy aren't that different at all. Desmond really has the time and creativity to whip up two books at the same time. Both literatures are well crafted and he really makes good research making use of the time and place the story is taking place.After reading the book, I have realized that the two Desmond Cory masterpieces are both epic and interesting in their own way. They may have a similar genre or theme but they have really unique characters. Lindsay Grey, the main protagonist of this book, this is Jezebel is a former policeman and is the second in a series of four books. He is a genius and has a very bizarre way of solving crimes. This book may be hard to absorb at the first read because of the many things that are happening all at ones and you might miss some of them. But as you get used to the pacing and story line you will absolutely find yourself on the edge, flipping one page to another.
