this was a really enjoyable read with a good depth of key characters. The ending is one of the more suprising and the final words are perfect.
A well written story, though the plot was obvious in a couple of places. The ending was poor, almost like it was a desperate afterthought.
Does anyone else think G.M. Ford was tired of his character... reminded me of a "who" concert when they broke there instruments so the fans could not ask for any more returns... good story bad ending
Corso, periodista de investigación cuya prometedora carrera se desbarató por un escándalo, se ha reconvertido en escritor de best-sellers y es enviado por su editor a un pequeño pueblo de Pennsylvania para resolver un extraño caso. Un año atrás, un vecino que nunca antes había mostrado ningún tipo de inclinación hacia el crimen entra en el banco local con una bomba sujeta al cuello para intentar robar el establecimiento. Al poco de hacer acto de presencia el artefacto estalla y el hombre muere hecho pedazos. El asunto despierta de inmediato el interés del FBI, que se pega a Corso para ponerse al día de sus descubrimientos, pero las cosas se tuercen para él porque el FBI lo inculpa de estar detrás de las explosiones. Así show more que ahora no sólo tiene que encontrar al verdadero culpable para poder escribir el libro si no para salvar su propio pellejo. Tras salvar milagrosamente la vida de la embestida de un quitanieves, Corso descubre que tras los hombres–bomba se esconde un maniaco. show less
