Un’altra storia adrenalinica e ricca di colpi di scena dove ancora una volta Victor dovrà mettere in gioco le sue doti per riuscire a salvarsi dalle tante trappole che gli vengono tese.
Sullo sfondo di New York al buio solo il suo intuito e l’esperienza riusciranno a fare la differenza in situazioni che sembrano non avere alcuna via di uscita.
Ritmo incalzante e descrizioni particolareggiate rendono la storia sempre più appassionante e avvincente.

Silly fast paced book. ( )

This is the first book in a long while where I have fall in love again with the espionage/assassin story. I used to read a lot of these types of books up there with my mysteries. This book was so easy to read that it was a pleasure and not a chore. So having said this, this is also my first time reading a book in this series.

Victor had a coolness about him kind of like James Bond. Which I found appealing. He is also very intelligent, even if there was a time or two where I thought that Raven or the other guys had gotten the drop on him. Yet it was all part of the plan and Victor scoping out the situation. Speaking of Raven, I was drawn to her as a strong female heroine. She and Victor brought it just as well as they could take it toe to toe. The ending was not what I saw coming. I hope that Raven makes good on her promise and I see her again at some point in another book in this series. I plan to check out the prior novels in this series as well as keep my eyes out for the next one. There was no dark day when I was reading this book. ( )
