I enjoyed the novel and it had a very good price point.  The storyline and characters were well-crafted.  The suspense built in a traditional fashion.  Overall, a worthy addition to the genre.HOWEVER,Lincoln is a wimp.  He seems to go from invulnerable hero to misty-eyed to crying wreck in a half a page.  Please Lincoln, if you are such an emotional basket case, get some help…or at least don't tell us about it.  Lincoln is also afraid of his wife.  Hmmm.  Is Harrison Drake really a female cop's nom de plume?  It certainly appeared that Lincoln exhibited a number of traditionally feminine characteristics.Other than the over-emoting, the novel seemed to go off on tangents not related to the storyline.  The descriptive prose of the Warsaw zoo and Copernicus center was a diversion not central to the plot.  Either give the novel the full Dan Brown treatment, or eliminate the superflous.All in all, it was an enjoyable page-turner and I'll be purchasing the next book in the series.
