theciz's review

A deathly boring, cliched spy "thriller" with a plot done a thousand times before. Jaded and misogynist American spy doing "one last job" in the Middle East who falls in love with a conveniently much younger local woman while being drawn into a wider conspiracy. I didn’t quite get that far in, but it was obvious where it was going a mile off. Maybe something crazy, or at least interesting, happens in the second half of this book, but it’s beyond my patience to find out. Slow and generic, I really wonder why this picked up so many good reviews.
