Title: Bleat - unmitigated bleat
Review: The book starts out bad and then proceeds to worse. Every bad thriller idea extant is packed into this book . Brief example, if you cannot spot the "Evil Genius" the instant he appears, you should turn in your U.N.C.L.E. communicator. And, of course, the "Hashassin" from Syria must be part of the "centuries -old" plot. I could go on, but I feel ill. The story is full of supposedly intelligent people acting painfully stupid, and being shocked by the obvious. I could not finish the book, it was that bad. The author and publisher should be arraigned for arboricide. Please, if you wish to read an intelligent thriller, read Alan Furst, Len Deighton, Arturo Perez-Reverte, or John LeCarre, do not waste your money on this.
