ncrabb 's review for:
The Panther
by Nelson DeMille
John Corey and his wife, Kate, are given a choice as the book opens. Either they report to Yemen to help track down an American-born terrorist or they accept less-than plum jobs in cities where neither of them want to live.
Replete with John Corey’s snarky sarcasm, this is a book that weaves into a twisty plot some thoughts about our fragile so-called alliances in the Middle East.
This is a book that forces Corey and his wife to deal with the reality that they are the cheese in the mousetrap in the effort to capture The Panther. He, in turn, wants Corey and Kate Mayfield dead, because Corey killed a world-renowned Libyan terrorist in a previous book.
Read this to explore the murky undercurrents of interagency battles and turf wars and the lives that can often be taken because of nothing more sinister than vendettas among U.S. federal employees.
If the book has a disadvantage, it is that it is about 30 percent too long. This isn’t the most breathtaking of the John Corey books, and much of that is due to the slow plot that tortuously winds its way to a satisfying finish.
