Title: Good plotting and characters
Product review: I purchased this because I was a fan of a book of short stories by Hugh Pentecost, Around Dark Corners, when I was a teen. It is a good thriller with unlikely heroes. It is a little dated, as it concerns Middle Eastern kidnappers and terrorists in the 1970's, which turns out to be a kinder and gentler time compared to our Post-9/11 world. It is also pre-DNA, pre-cellphone, pre-Internet, and thus plotting is slower in a sense, since everything takes longer to investigate, people are harder to reach, etc. A good mystery and a thrilling read. I enjoy Pentecost's style.
