This book starts a little different to most of the other crime thrillers that I have read but doesn't take long to spark my interest. The first chapter in this book did exactly what it was meant to do by grabbing your attention and setting up the book for chase to the disastrous end.

The book does continue on from a couple of others that Nelson DeMille has written but don’t think that you will need to read these to fully understand the characters.

To starts with a couple going about having an affair and taping them in the process of doing so. After that it moves to the main character, John Corey and his wife. John is then seduced into investigating the explosion that killed all passengers and crew onboard flight TWA 800. This investigation eventually takes John to the couple at the start of the book in search of that video tape.

I have to admire Nelson DeMille for being able to play down such a small peace of detail and then turning it into one of the biggest clues in the book.

This book doesn’t rush but it also isn’t very slow either and when you get to the end you do have a little feeling of wanting more just based on the way it ends but it does feel complete.

I look forward to reading the next installment in the life of John Corey.
