This is a book that will keeping you guessing.  It is a thriller that delivers the goods.  This story has all the plot twists and suspense that a mystery needs, but it also has intricate characters (good guys and bad guys) who interact with the hero in a well written novel that has humor woven into the dialogue and details in the locations that make it real.  Some may not care for the detailed descriptions of locales, but I find it welcome and the author is so much better than the average writer today that I also find it refreshing.  De Maria reminds of the authors I grew up reading in the 50s & 60s.  Well told, well written, well done.
