Summary: A VERY standard conspiracy novel
Review: This is the third or fourth novel Kyle Mills has written with Mark Beamon as a main character. Mark's the best investigator in FBI history (everyone says so, about every fifty pages in this book) but he's been kicked up stairs to Special Agent in Charge in Phoenix. He makes a lousy supervisor, and is getting a review of his performance which is horrible, and will lead to his reassignment. One of his friends from Washington has a problem: she's investigating a case of terrorism in which some Al Quaeda extremists have smuggled a missile into the U.S. and are threatening to use it. She requests Beamon's help with an undercover investigation, and the result is that Beamon becomes Nicolai, a shadowy character who's part assassin and part organized crime kingpin. Another FBI agent is killed, and Beamon becomes Nicolai for more than a minute, and stays undercover, looking for who ordered his partner's death.This is a pretty formulaic novel. It's very well-written, but the plot is so predictable and the villains are very easily identified. As a result, I didn't enjoy it as much as I might. I was wondering how he was going to end the story, but I will confess that again the ending was predictable and rather formulaic. Good writing, but lousy plot.

Summary: Audio version could not hold my interest.
Review: Want to hear a great story of terrorists taunting the USA on its' own turf?
You won't find it in this novel. This audio book lost my interest by the second tape of eight. Nothing exciting happens here.
It's one scene after another of people sitting around tables discussing
the problems of the world. I'm sorry, but I can't recommend this book.
