This book captivated my attention and kept me wondering about what would happen next. Mr. Lindsay does a great job of locking on to the readers imagination and directing it wherever he wants to lead. This book has not sat on the shelf for a moment. I come from a family of readers and everyone is waiting their turn-- though not very patiently.

This is the best of Lindsay's first three thrillers, with the most interesting cat-and-mouse game and the most satisfying conclusion. A former FBI agent, Lindsay writes with great authority about the Bureau and its bureaucratic and political in-fighting. He also provides a thrill-a-minute plot, sharply drawn characters, snappy dialogue, and plenty of you-are-there technical and procedural minutiae for the aspiring G-man in all of us. Read and enjoy!

Mr. Lindsay is a writer with respectful talent! I am very grateful to have him top in my MUST-READ LIST. If you like to read the real things of FBI with good plots and a touch of good humor, please read Mr. Lindsay's three books, and you won't disappointed. There is only one small regret of his 3rd book: his best side-kick partner is missing this time. I wish Mr. Lindsay would allow Mike Devlin's best friend in Detroit to appear again in his 4th book, since when they are together, it only makes his books more fun!!! Bless you, Mr. Lindsay

This man can write! From beginning to end, the pace never slows, and you can smell the authenticity.

After I finished (when I could breathe again), I was wondering, there's more than one way to skin a cat. The only flaw I could find in the book was, the terrorist never made it clear what he wanted. He seemed to want authority. The hero cleverly seeks out the terrorist so he can shoot him. For argument's sake, let's say the terrorist wanted to become ruler of the US. But maybe they could have dealt with it by asking the terrorist, ok, say you do become ruler, how will you keep your hold on power? Once you are ruler, you can't sneak around hiding bombs or poisoning people, so what will you do to keep yourself alive the day after you take power? Maybe you can't reason with a nut, and of course the American way is always, "run `em down and shoot `em" (Viet Nam, Afghanistan, Iraq, New Orleans). But it's an interesting idea.

Forget the interesting idea, just read the book! It is a real thriller.

I couldn't put it down. Fast pacing and really challenging. Don't miss it

This one kept me involved throughout a long flight! It was great... just when I thought I had it all figured out...BAM! Ya know?

Enjoy!

I've read all three books and have only one comment..... WHEN IS THE NEXT BOOK COMING OUT? I can't wait!

Very believable, page turner, thriller, which holds the reader attention. Excellently written. Don't let this book go unread!

This book is filled with short, stupid dialogue, a macho FBI agent that does everything without thinking, a wife who says, "But honey, you take too many risks," and a handicapped clerk who becomes a hero. You can count on what will happen next, and you have to read though quick two page chapters that are suppose to imply excitement but are just choppy. Even for summer trash reading, this book is a zero. The subtitle of it being about the FBI is a joke, unless you want to believe that the agency is nothing but a bunch of paper pushers with one dangerous agent they can't keep under control, yet he consistently saves the day. UGGG!! I've bought a lot of books through Amazon and I am always surprised when customer reviews are so glowing for such trivial writing. Save your money!
