As an innocent trapped in high-stakes affairs, Hollis is forced to rely on her keen instinct, intelligence, and dogged determination to prevail over monumental odds -- and to outsmart her mysterious and diabolical adversary. Stalked by an assassin known only as "the Handyman", Hollis soon realizes that she can no longer trust anyone -- not even the police or her longtime lover.

I loved everything about this book. It had me on my toes the entire time and I think I stopped breathing a few times in anticipation of what was to come next. I have found a new author I can’t get enough of and I’m excited to continue the journey Philip Shelby has laid out for us.

Entertaining but dated adventure/espionage story.

[Quillermo Pellicaan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Leuk verhaal. Prima plotwendingen.

[Nathan Woll · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was ok. The ending was anticlimactic and prolonged. The magic rituals were way out of place in a modern book.

[David Wilkinson · Rating 3 out of 5]

Easy to read thriller

O ficțiune captivantă.

As good as Evelyn Anthony's 1970 bestseller, The Assassin. Also read Snow Wolf by Glenn Meade!

I give it 3 1/2 stars. It had a lot of action, secret agencies, assassins, politics, etc.

[Garett · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was a fun read. I had read too many serious books lately and needed something fun. It's in the same mold as Tom Clancey, etc.

A good, adventure book

[Rebecca · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked this book. It was fast paced without being dizzying. There was enough "black ops/cover these" without completely losing me.

Der Klappentext kann in die Irre führen: die Geschichte ist besser!
Etwas langatmig am Anfang, anschließend sehr gut und flott geschrieben
Gibt es einen zweiten Teil?
