Decent thriller.

An easy read. I liked the main character Behr and the emphasis on his imminent family life as a motivation, which can be rare in this genre. But even though people were getting killed left, right and centre, it somehow seemed to move slowly. I was expecting more of a twist at the end, but competently if bloodily resolved. Would like to read more about Behr's adventures, perhaps on his own, not part of Caro group.
