review 1: First exposure to this author - blind pick off the library shelf for a road trip. I took it because I thought it was a mystery set in Georgia (country not state), which would be new to me. Turns out to start in Georgia, and has a Georgian main character, but it is mostly a chase across multiple countries in pursuit of a girl being sold into the sex slave trade, with much detail. I found the plot to be minimally interesting while the details of the international slave trade were (imho) endlessly and unnecessarily dwelled upon. Not my kind of book.
review 2: Best Atticus book in a while. The horror of sex slavery and exploitation hang heavy over the book, providing a gravitas which gives some urgency to the usual race across the globe, thinking up clever ways t... moreo extort information from bad people; and improvising innovative medicine on the go. As usual, Rucka papers beautifully over plot holes by making his leads slightly opaque, leading the reader to always assume there is a good reason. less
