I am always on the lookout for something a little different in the thriller area and despite not being a new author, this one fills that bill. It’s big-corporation crime and espionage stuff, very clever with some great twists, good characters, a nice love interest, that does not detract from the central plot but strangely helps to accelerate the pace, and lots of real page-turning addiction. Great stuff. He has written three other novels (High Crimes was filmed with Morgan Freeman and Ashley Judd). This is his best but enjoy the others too. This title is also available as an Audiobook in CD format.

All he has to do is betray everyone he cares about and everything he believes in...
