Another good effort by DeMaria. Intriguing forms of dispatch for the victims, all appropriate to the clever plot. He also weaves lots of little ornaments into the usual fast pace. Details about locales, adult beverages, the publishing business, weapons, and police procedures - domestic and international - add substance and authenticity, not weight. I also appreciated his departure from the formula, cage-match finales common to so many thrillers. I didn't see this one coming, yet it passed the plausibility test. A quick enjoyable read.
