It's refreshing to read a thriller that doesn't star a hero who is a martial arts expert, fluent in eight languages, an experienced jet fighter pilot, and conversant in nuclear physics. Here we have a Belgian policeman in the style of Poirot who is just more clever than anyone around. He outwits an apathetic and/or corrupt bureaucracy to defeat an unscrupulous German industrialist who is trying to foment war and disaster on the Continent to win for Germany the "hegemony" that she failed to win in two wars. There's plenty of Clancy-style military and paramilitary action in a very plausible political scenario. Frighteningly realistic.
