Kyle Mercer is a deserter, but why? When he is sighted and Scott Brodie of the CID is tasked with finding him that is the only question he is not allowed to ask. Just find Mercer. It's been a while since I read anything by Nelson DeMille but he still can write a great book. This is one of those stories when you don't have a clue to what will happen with one of the main characters. I didn't have a clue if Mercer where a good guy or not until the end. I must thank Edelweiss and Simon & Schuster for letting me read this.

Made it to page 97. Not my cup of tea. Spy/assassin story in economic chaos of Venezuela. Now I will never go to Venezuela. Prose is wooden and heavily padded with irrelevant scene setting details. Get on with it! Apparently others are more gripped by the tale.

I like reading his books because there is always humor in them. I felt the book was a bit too long.

A great and funny story from Nelson DeMille. I hope this is the beginning of a new series.
