Sort of a body guard story. The body guard trys to find the primary-person who ordered the hit on someone else. He guards and moves around a family of 6 but the killer is only after one of them. You get a LOT of details about this body guarding business.
Lot of internal angst, or blahblah of the body guard. Some is interesting, other stuff not so much. There are needless explanations of procedures etc that most readers of this stuff would already know. Chapter 37 you are taken for a ride and don't have a CLUE until the next chapter. Irritating. He has the character jump ahead of you. In so many places you are left to wonder WTF until he decides to explain things to the reader.
Personally, I wasn't crazy about it but it's not poorly written or anything. Good novel for someone who likes spy, assassin, body guard, guns etc type stuff. I've preferred other stuff by the same author. Mostly his Lincoln Rhyme stuff.
