Seems no one cared to review for a couple years. This author is new to me and my opinion of this book does not match the other reviews. I found it hard to buy the events in this story. The gulliblity of Steve was just too much. I could hardly finish the story. Why did it take him so long and need for eavesdropping equipment to realize his lover's involvement. I'm sorry but I'll take Robin Cook's thrillers any day.
