by Ian Rankin Gordon Reeves, a former Special Forces soldier, has a survival camp for training weekend warriors and potential bodyguards in a remote part of Scotland. He receives word that his freelance journalist brother Jim, with whom he hasn't been close for years, has shot himself. Reeves travels to California to claim his body. There, a friend of Jim informs Gordon that he doesn't believe the suicide report. Gordon undertakes trying to determine the truth and suspects that Jim was murdered by Co-World Chemical, because the investigation Jim was working on involving the chemical company would reveal that the company was linked to a disease that could eventually harm millions worldwide. His pursuit of the facts in the case that pits him against the chemical conglomerate also involves him in a cat-and-mouse game with Jay, a deranged former military colleague. This book has been reprinted from a 10-year-old novel written as Jack Harvey. It is a stand alone, which does not feature the John Rebus of his acclaimed series. It is interesting to compare this with his more recent work. The story can still be tied in with today's multinational big business and its involvement with science. The story is action packed, fast-moving and filled with suspense. The action between Gordon and Jay is chilling and graphic. The story will capture the reader's attention from start to finish. |
