Another winner as far as I am concerned for Brian Ullmann. Why this guy is not getting more reviews is beyond me. This is the second Jonathan Dougherty (Retriever) novel and this one is even better than the first. Wouldn't mind a third if the Author decided to further the adventures of this character. It's kinda like the National Treasures movies which were like the Dan Brown novels. I liked it and I will continue to follow the Author.
