Yet another page turner from J Archer, though not probably among his best. Even while I did find some of the key premises in the plot a little hard to digest, the book still managed to keep me engrossed. The emotions of pity, anger and revenge that he manages to arouse in you for Danny Cartwright are so strong that you begin to yearn for revenge just as Danny would. And once you are in that mode, you begin to overlook some convenient assumptions in the plot, as by now you desperately want the protagonist to win too. And he certainly seems to have hinted that we may have a part II to this one soon.
