As a former police officer, I was delighted in obtaining this book to read and review. Alas, it is moderately a book you might want to borrow from the library. It is an easy read. The first few pages started with such promise. Then the the plot became disconnected, characters were not developed, and the power of Steve Vail were appropriate for someone like maybe a James Bond. I believe the author could be much better than this, given his vast knowledge and experience. Come on...there surely is some hope at times in his writing.
