In this book, Collins jumps Heller back into the past, into the 1950s, and has him work on more than one case. I thought the book was much more interesting than the last two or three, enough that I stayed with it until I finished the story. And while I was only in elementary school at the time the events in this novel took place, I still remember hearing about some members of the cast of characters in the news, especially as some ramifications of these events echoed into the late 50s and early 60s. In this book, Collins also explains how Heller became an "asset" for the CIA, a role he played in some of the earlier novels in the series.
I also liked that Collins greatly toned down his protagonist's sex life in this book. That doesn't mean there weren't any sexual episodes, just that they were less frequent and played down.
