Very intriguing plot, kept me up very late one night. I'd rate it higher but for two things 1-lenghty asides, like random poem, some mention of NY Attorney General that have no impact on the plot and 2-little tiny things that don't make sense...Mark while staying at Emily's drives away in his car, but he has no car there, she picked him up....

I do like how all the subplots wound up. And I was very impressed with the depth of the knowledge of the author - chemistry, gambling, football, torture WOW

would read and purchase another book by this author for sure
