5.0 out of 5 starsIntriguing to the End.
Reviewed in Australia on 12 April 2021
As a lawyer I am often fatigued from authors who focus on jury trials but I found the combination of CIA venality and its propensity to save face at any cost and to sacrifice Agents ( past & present) under the pretext of national security simply fascinating.

I enjoyed this book right up to the last page and word.

2.0 out of 5 starsToo complicated and tedious
Reviewed in Australia on 23 August 2019
A novel of two halves... the first never believable and the second too drawn out and complex. In general not engaged by the characters or the storyline. Some of the Moscow interlude was quite thrilling but then it dwindled to a rather tedious legal drama. Disappointing as I enjoyed reading his other novels.

Le Chasseur
4.0 out of 5 stars A great read
Reviewed in Australia on 14 February 2021
Verified Purchase
I enjoyed this adventure immensely. And it was an adventure in two parts: one being espionage, the other being the law case.

Both parts had the the essential element of credibility. The intrigue of the US spy network in Russia moulded into the US legal system being manipulated by the CIA.

This is a very pleasing book and I look forward to the sequel(s) with great anticipation.

A good book means late nights. Thank goodness as a 74year old with a back problem, I can please myself and sleep in? What would I do without books?

This is the first book I have read of Robert Dugoni. I am glad I did. From beginning to end it’s gripping. Thanks Robert. Looking forward to reading your second book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Going to just read the book - the "performance" is pretty bad.
Reviewed in Australia on 16 August 2019

This isn't a narration - its a "performance."
It's a bad performance.
Won't be buying another one with this "performer" that's for sure.
PS. Book seems okay though

4.0 out of 5 stars An engaging series
Reviewed in Australia on 2 April 2021

Dugoni weaves familiar characters thru his stories while still having the ability to keep each 'episode' self contained and the plot fast paced.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gripping
Reviewed in Australia on 25 August 2019

It took me a little while to get into this book and, at one stage, I thought that I may not finish it. However, having been a fan of Robert Dugoni, I persevered and was rewarded with a fantastic story. Recommended.
