Title: Could use a better editor
Review: The copy of this book I purchased had "A mystery" on the cover. Now I'm no genius but if a mystery book is named "The Rasputin Relic" it isn't really a mystery what is in the bank vault. I'm not sure why the author dragged it out so long before the characters found out. It just made for boring reading. On top of this the characters seemed formulaic. A woman with a past, a cynical cop, a government agent with no heart, etc. Finally the ending completed eradicated any goodwill I had towards the book. I won't ruin the ending but I will say it is completely unbelievable.As a side note Hampton Roads publishers has a note in the back of the book that they are a publisher of books on "metaphysics and visionary fiction". It hardly seemed visionary to me.
