This is the 3rd installment of the Javier Falcon novels, the previous 2 being cracking, at times demanding books. In this story Wilson explores a terrorist attack in Spain investigated by Inspector Flacon. As the previous reviewer has pointed out in this book Falcon has appeared to come to terms with his 'demons' and consequently the book is much lighter reading.
As always wilson develops the characters and the plot of the book in an excellent manner. my only criticism of the book was that, at times, theres just a little too much going on (including perhaps a few too many characters. I found myself at times having to think back to discover who this person was). I found this distracting and it ultimately spoilt what could have been a very good book (hence 3 instead of 4 *).
This is a good book but not as good as the previous 2 Falcon books, in my opinion. However, the ending of the book leaves you wanting to know more and I believe that Wilson plans a 4th and final Falcon novel. Wilson remains a great thriller writer
