LESS THAN A SHADOW

by David Chacko

LESS THAN A SHADOW begins with the murder of a noted journalist in Istanbul. Jason Ender, a “field reconnaissance” agent for the State Department, is assigned to investigate the case. Shadowed by the Mafia, and violence that explodes apparently at random, Ender’s investigation concludes on an autumn night when the gigantic city that straddles Europe and Asia rocks to the beat of Armageddon.

[Sharyn · Rating 3 out of 5]

The plot was the standard 'catch the terrorist'. However, the descriptions of the Bosphorus and the different Istanbul neighborhoods added to my excitement over Dana's and my upcoming trip to Turkey in April.

Confusing book about a CIA operative called in to assist the Istanbul police investigation of the murder of a foreign journalist. Bulgarians, Turish mafia, Iranians, etc. Did not even care by the end.
