Add a CommentFor me, this was a slow started. But once into it, I enjoyed it. I'd bet there is a movie made of this one soon.
Fast-paced & smart; lengthy descriptions of weaponry & ammunition add verissimilitude but slow things down. Neat, satisfying ending.
clever, fast-paced and unusual. not what i expected, looking forward to more from the same author
I thought this was a really good read by a debut author. I tore through it in a few days & hope this is only the first in a series about the "ghostman." I read that he already has a movie deal on this one!
If you liked The Usual Suspects, you will love this novel. Intelligent, elegantly written and almost perfectly paced, it is, as the description suggests, a thoroughly addictive ride through a world of disappearances, multi-million dollar bank robberies, and double crosses galore. Highly recommended.
