Greg Iles has written many great novels; he is actually one of my few esteemed fiction novelists.This is one of his earlier books- a BIG book, robust adventure that could be a TV mini-series, as a "Raiders of Lost Ark" movie time-frame could not begin to cover all of these characters, their plots and subplots.Such a magnificent high adventure with heavy thought, lots of action and emotion all throughout these pages.This is his terrific writing and our fun reading at its best!Five Big Stars without a doubt!-
