Rating: 4 out of 5

'The Last Finesse' is an ambitious work that tackles big and important themes, mostly from an optimistic perspective. The expansive and uplifting story touches on climate change, nuclear energy, interpersonal ethics and the causes of the financial crisis. At its core, however, is a set of interesting and richly depicted characters to whom I could relate.The protagonist is Luke Sinclair, a young professor who becomes unwittingly entangled in a conspiracy of global proportions. His experiences made me feel sympathy and fascination. Confronted with knowledge of breaches of international law and political intrigue, can he maintain his integrity and courage?I would recommend this book to fans of thought-provoking and ethically conscious thrillers. The author handles the complexities of the plot deftly, and it is undoubtedly one of the best and most gripping stories that I've read in the conspiracy genre.
