As I always enjoy Steve Alten's books, I looked forward to his newest adventure. Having been to Inverness and been to Loch Ness, I was excited to read about it. He did not disappoint. This was an excellent novel, full of twists and turns. I was pulled in from the beginning and couldn't put it down. One of the things I like best about Steve's characters is his ability to make the hero/heroine flawed. These are people with problems, issues, sometimes very serious ones. It makes the characters believeable.Once again, a terrific read by Steve Alten!
