Fast paced and exciting thriller bookworm From the start, this book grabs your attention and you are immersed in the business and investment world and journey with the main characters to varied places such as mining towns, cities and offices of law agencies. The characters are well defined and the book is easy to read, fast paced and highly enjoyable. I won't spoil the plot but do yourself a fav. "Is Bassett another Stieg Larsson in the making?" according to Jill. A fast paced, exciting thriller that I couldn't put down until the end. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it is brilliantly written, has some business mixed in with plenty of action. I can't wait for the sequel
