Haig has created a very interesting legal beagle in the character of Sean Drummond. A novel written in the first person, this is a very effective tool for this story. I love the humor Drummond directs not only to everybody else but to himself. Enter his partner, the amazing Katrina, with a quick mind and an amazing body that interests him but thank you, Brian Haig, for not making a romantic connection between the two. Those tired stories of guy meets girl in a work situation and immediately they get into bed is so predictable and boring. The twist in the circumstance of the old flame is good plot. I thought Katrina and her alliance with Alexi was a little on the far-fetched side. Too much, too soon. A little unbelievable in the end, with the treatment of Drummond, but then it's fiction. Good characterization.I'll be reading more of Haig's books. He's good.
