Something of an improvement over more recent books by Higgins, and that's for two reasons. First, the pointless and dull character Daniel Holley is reduced to brief appearances and mentions (so much the better). Second, Sean Dillon actually spends the book being active and not vanishing for long stretches as has been too often the case in these books. Higgins pairs Dillon again with Sara Gideon in this continent hopping yarn involving an Iranian scientist who doesn't want his work in the nuclear industry to fall into the wrong hands. Gideon's an interesting character, and perhaps an acknowledgment by Higgins that his choice several years ago to kill off Hannah Bernstein was a bad one. The ending works well, but I'd say it might be time for Higgins to call it a day. Lest he decide to write another book and have that pointless character Holley infest the whole thing yet again.
