Customer Reviews

As real as it gets !

This book grabs your attention and doesn't let go for a week after you finish it. As a former Police Officer and someone who has been to Iceland and Northern Ireland I found this book to be very realistic in every sense. Brian McKenna is the type of guy you want to be your partner, your friend , and the cop who comes when you dial 911. He is Dan Mahoney's main character in all of his books, a NYPD Detective who in spite of past problems rises to the task of solving the toughest cases that come along. In this book he travels to Iceland to find a missing girl and ends up in a personal battle with the IRA's best bomb man. If you want a safe, predictable story then DO NOT buy this book. But if you want a gripping, realistic story of intrigue, with heartstopping action thrown in. Then get off your chair and go buy this book !

Enthralling!

Dan Mahoney has done it again! This was one of the best thrillers of the year - hands down! Mahoney's years of police work are obvious and add the realism that other authors only dream of. I eagerly await the next installment in the Brian McKenna series. Please write faster Mr. Mahoney, your fans are waiting!

this is a must read you cannot put it down!

This book is so well written,the characters are all enjoyable.This is one where you can't wait to read the next page.Thoroughly enjoyable!

Realistic page-turner.

I'm an Icelandic cop and I was amaised at the almost 100% accuracy of Mahoney's description of Iceland. Although the Icelandic cop is a bit unrealistic.I strongly recomend this book to everyone who likes a good thriller.
