I enjoyed this book even though it was short. Garrett Reilly re-assembles his 'Ascendant' team after being framed for the murder of the US Fed VP. He's narrowed down who he's after but has to act carefully as he's being hunted by the FBI. And one of the FBI officers is seeing his patterns. He realises that Ilya Markov is quite a formidable foe. Reading these books could make me quite paranoid about security and who I talk to - lots of identity theft!
