"The Specter" by Jonas Saul is an entertaining and fast paced thriller about the brother of a missing stripper trying to solve the crime. During his investigations he soon realises that he is up against a billionaire with no morals but unlimited funds.I enjoyed the story for its fast pace and I applaud the author for his great talent in story telling the. The plot and the narrative unfold nicely, there are some colourful characters in the book and there is plenty of action to keep you turning those pages. There were a few moments where I felt the over-the-top style of some of the scenes did not work so well in this David versus Goliath tale but that did not distract me from enjoying the book. What I did feel was that Saul has got a very creative and imaginative mind and I am looking forward to seeing more of his work in the future.
