review 1: This is very gripping, fast moving crime thriller which encompasses espionage - linking both FBI and CIA activity in bringing to justice a perverted, sadistic Russian mafia boss who operates as much in the USA as he does in his native country - where he hides beneath a mass of corrupt officaldom.The novel bounces back and forth between New York and Moscow is also a burgeoning love affair between the main protagonist 'De Sade' and a stunningly beautiful FBI Agent called 'Faith' whose father just happens to be a top CIA man.My only criticism is that the main flow of the story is frequently interrupted when 'De Sade' (an NYPD Cop- who is ex 'special forces) keeps reminiscing about his military exploits in Afghanistan.Ultimately, after Faith has been abducted by the Russian Mo... moreb, their boss is finally dealt with. It would be difficult to explain more without having to untangle the complex web of a number of sub-plots in this highly convoluted novel that grips fron beginning to end - still leaving a number of explanations as to its title !
review 2: I probably shouldn't admit it, but I really did enjoy this book! Although laced with violence, I don't feel that any of the violence was gratuitous. The character of Gabriel de Sade was well-developed, and the reader is given keen insights into who Gabriel is and how he operates through flashbacks that depict de Sade's work as part of the military's black ops forces.I would have enjoyed seeing the other characters be as well-developed, too, and some storylines filled out more (specifically, the connection between Hector's wife and Gordieva, how she knew where to be, and what was on a certain videotape); however, none of these keeps the story from being an engaging thrill ride from beginning to end.One area of concern that I do have, though, is poor editing. Particularly with e-book versions, it seems there should be no difficulties fixing glaring errors, and ensuring continuity throughout the book.Finally, the author sometimes uses descriptors for characters that interject race where it is irrelevant or where it plays into stereotypes. Whenever I ran up against these descriptions, I found myself cringing.I will be on the lookout for other novels featuring Gabriel de Sade, and I hope we can delve more into his psyche and his faith in those novels. less
