This
was the book I read this week. It starts out with a mixture of
suspense and action ,
The
sentence inside the front cover says it all-
Someone
gives you a dangerous puzzle to solve, one that may kill you or
someone else and You're about to fail...And there is no other option.
No one can help. No one but the Bricklayer.
The
bricklayer turns out to be Steven Vail, an ex FBI agent turned
bricklayer who has been fired by the service because he couldn't work
in the tight restrictions of the bureaucracy. The FBI faced with a
huge seemingly insolvable puzzle involving a lot of money end up by
calling him back in to figure it all out and not get killed off while
he is at it. It reads like a complicated action Bond novel and if you
like these kind of very complicated and somewhat unbelievable ,fast
paced, mystery novels it will appeal to you.
I
found the first half of the book good and gripping but then it get
unbelievable and I almost gave up on it. Then the story revs up when
a main character gets kidnapped and you are hooked again trying to
see if it all get solved. Well it does but I never guess the endings
to these mysteries before I read the very last chapter and word. And
yes there is a romantic slant with a beautiful FBI lady
I
think it would make an excellent movie.
