review 1: This is a smart, well written book that shows the Michael Sears is not suffering from a sophomore jinx after his Edgar Award finalist debut book Black Fridays. This book's plot centers the embezzlement and laundering of mulit millions in funds and the quest for their recovery. The protagonist, Jason Stafford is called on for that quest. What I like about the book is the balance between the time spent on Jason's private life and that spent on the monies recovery. His ex wife shows up inconveniently, he has an autistic child and a previous criminal record. His family is put at risk as he unravels the mystery. Call me petty but it drives me nuts that his son is only referred to as "the kid" by Jason and all the other characters.
review 2: A sluggish follow up to M... moreichael Sear's Black Friday again featuring Jason Stafford. In this story, Jason is hired to track down a missing three billion dollars. As with his last book, Sears inserts a lot of characters to keep track of and spends time on the relationship between Jason and his young son (who is on the autism spectrum). With all of the action and violence involved, I sometimes more enjoyed the details about how Jason was learning to best raise his son than on whether he actually found the money. less
