Even the stereotypes in Woods's first thriller are mostly fun. Crazedand getting crazierIRA terrorist Crandon is killing Brits in Washington in late 1987. A secret agency in the Defense Department, headed by Sam Taylor, is activated to nab the Irishman. Taylor's work is complicated by the efforts of a Libyan terrorist, Crandon's ex-mentor, now determined to destroy Crandon himself.
Low four. I suppose the book itself is fine. It reads as it intends, i.e., a group of stories about jilted claimants and the justice they get from the court system. It also doesn't overstay its welcome. I suppose the only thing that prevents me from rating this higher is a lack of diverse voices in the narrative.
