Dancing in the Trap by James Whelpley

4.0

Mickey Fairfax thinks the hand-off he's about to make to the blackmailer is going to be a piece of cake. Mickey waits by the subway for a woman with red flowers in her hair as instructed. However, things take a turn for the worse when he realizes he's given the money to the wrong woman. James Whelpley paints such descriptive events of Mickey's adventures throughout the streets of Paris. I felt I was right next to Mickey as he was fighting off crazy gangsters trying to find out the identity of the real blackmailer and who the woman was that he gave the money to. This is a twisty, suspenseful, and wild ride with lots of French words I didn't know and had to look up. Loved James Whelpley's style of writing. I've never read a book like this before!
