This had everything that I wanted from a thriller novel, it had that tense atmosphere that I was looking for and enjoyed going through this story. The characters were realistic and enjoyed the overall feel of them. Robert Walton does a great job in making the reader invested and glad it worked overall. It was a great fourth entry in the Harry Thursday Thrillers series and look forward to more in this world.

Review: Let's first get the errors out of the way. When Thursday is at the airport and is rescued by Schilling, the DOJ agent reaches into the seat and pulls out a pack of cigarettes and smokes. Later in the novel Schilling hands Thursday a lighter and Thursday says " I didn't know you smoked?". This later evolves into a joke between the two of them.

While escaping the airport, Thursday is running from two men. Later, Schilling mentions that there were three men. The story line continues thereafter mentioning the two men, only.

Thursdays' rental goes back and forth from a Ford Falcon to a Ford Fairlane quite a few times. They are different models. I know, I had a Ford Falcon. It is not a Fairlane. Not even close.

When they both go out to recon the salvage yard, Thursday checks to see if his gun is loaded. A few minutes later when attacked, he loads a "shell" into his pistol. Did he mean he initially checked that it had a full magazine" Probably not. So he loads it twice with a shell which is considered just the case. What he should have said was "Cartridge".

Anyway, this was a fun read. I really enjoyed the setting. I am a sucker for Southwestern habitat foreged in mystery. The story line jumps around a bit and there is no solid resolution for some of the characters. I still liked the writing style and the character development.

Rating: 4.7/5
