( ) This book is about a doctor who gets drawn into spy plots, crime solving, and terrorism plots after his wife's skiiing accident in Switzerland. Entertaining international spy thriller, but books like this do demand that you suspend reality a little, and accept the fact that some elements of the story and main character may be somewhat improbable and contrived. There were so many twists and turns in this book, it was almost too many to keep up. Who was spying on who in the area of nuclear weapons? Who sold parts to Iran so they could build missiles with enriched uranium? This book has a plot that keeps you guessing and wondering who the good guys are. A very good book.
OK, the thriller runs on for maybe a hundred pages too long. The hero doctor is maybe just a touch too resourceful in tight spots. And despite the fact that American author Reich is writing for an American audience, he insists on using metric measurements. But "Rules of Deception" rises above its flaws to earn a spot in your beach bag. Once you're surrounded by all that murk, you'll refuse to put the book down until the light breaks through.

Dr. Jonathan Ransom, world-class mountaineer and surgeon for Doctors Without Borders, is climbing in the Swiss Alps with his beautiful wife, Emma, when a blizzard sets in. In their bid to escape the storm, Emma is killed when she falls into a hidden crevasse. Twenty-four hours later, he is the subject of an international manhunt and the target of a master assassin. His only chance at survival lies in uncovering the devastating truth behind the secret his wife kept from him and in stopping the terrifying conspiracy that threatens to bring the world to the brink of annihilation.
