I'm usually hesitant to read Michael Robotham's books when they aren't part of his Joe O'Loughlin series, however, I was pleasantly surprised by this book. I really liked the new main character Cyrus, and Robotham is very talented at writing very real characters, who have very real flaws and weaknesses, as well as strengths. The plot for this one was very interesting, and although somewhat predictable, the writing and the characters more than make up for it, to create a very well worth it read.
