This has all the speed of EQUINOX with a sound modern day setting and another very sound relationship between two strong characters. Sean loses the plot at times, but Rob is very believable as the rookie trailing a farmore dynamic partner through apparently endless trials and tribulations.Once started, the plot never slows up, which occasionally makes you wonderif the characters wouldn't just collapse from sheer exhaustion in the realworld, but this is written in Keegan's usual, excellent and thoroughlyabsorbing style and keeps you involved with the characters and theirpartnership up to the very end. Keegan writes real relationships- notalways perfect, not always steady, but based on two different people and anenduring love. Rob and Sean are understandable, from the start where theyare trying to patch their faltering relationship to the end where Rob'sinsecurity comes far enough out for Sean to see it. How many writers canget inside people's heads like this? At times I wish the plot would stepaside and let a little more of this wonderful detail too, but then this isa thriller. One of Keegan's best - I wish he'd write a few more in modernsettings.Product Description
