I first got turned on to this book after watching the movie "Corrupt" (aka The Order of Death) with Harvey Keitel and Johnny Rotten (yes, him. He was EXCELLENT!).
The book is pretty much just like the movie. However, the writing is dense and may turn off some people who want a casual read. If you go through with it, though, you won't be disappointed. Chilling and creepy. Just like the other reviewer said, this is a "minimalist" thriller. Not a lot of slam-bang action but has so much power using so little. Am I making sense? I don't know. Just get this book.
