One of Woods' most compelling reads. I was able to zip through the chapters with ease and hated having to put this one down. Cat Catledge is James Bond with Bruce Wayne's resources. ( )

Normally Woods books grip me from the very beginning, but this one seemed slow developing for me. That's why I only gave it 3 stars. ( )

I received this book as an advance readers' copy years ago. Don't remember a whole lot about it, other than that it seemed to be a pretty typical modern adventure story, based around a Columbian drug ring. ( )
