content: I grabbed this book with excitement, after reading some stellar reviews, thinking that it was of the same calibre as other Greg Iles books I've read. I am disappointed! The historical/WWII intrigue was fun, but the story lacked the complexity and depth of his other books. Moreover, the storyline was very predictable and typical for WW2 thrillers. I would NOT recommend the book to first-time Iles readers, nor to Iles fans.
