I will start this review by saying you will struggle to find a more imaginative story, this book really is an inspired piece of storytelling. The author, John Medler, manages to intertwine several fascinating plots while never losing control of the overall story, a seriously impressive feat.The underlying heartache the husband and wife carry due to their son’s disability adds a new dimension to the entire story. It shows that there is more to the book than just action and suspense, raw human emotion is one of the most powerful tools an author can use to evoke a response from readers and yet so many books nowadays decide to just go down the thrill a minute route. Not this book. While there is enough excitement to satisfy even the most demanding reader, John Medler has managed to also add a more thought provoking and human element to the book and he must be praised for that.Overall I feel this book wholeheartedly deserves five stars. It is one of those rare books that you find yourself still thinking about long after you have stopped reading.
