One thing I've started doing is, looking up the websites of authors whose book I REALLY enjoyed, and reading who THEY consider THEIR favorite authors. Having just finished an excellent book by Christopher Reich (The Prince of Risk), I looked up HIS favorite authors, and it was there I found James Twining. So, I ordered Double Eagle and I was NOT disappointed! I won't cover the plot or storyline, but the gist of it is, a reformed art thief turns "straight" and helps an FBI agent (pretty female, of course) solve a crime. There are plenty of twists along the way and it all made for a very enjoyable read. FAR better than your typical Patterson, et al. More akin to Daniel Silva's books. I highly recommend it.

This was a pleasurable find for a debut novel. I love finding new authors who create that longing for their next title to be released. I am already counting the days until I can read "The Black Sun".
If you enjoy action with a twist of historical mystery, this novel is one for you. The best way I can describe it is Hudson Hawk meets Clive Cussler with more believable action/character development with the main character.

The Double Eagle was my first James Twining book but it won't be my last. I have already ordered his second book, The Black Sun. This book had major twists and turns and the ending was so surprising. Can't believe this was Twining's debut thriller. I have to say that this book is extraordinary!
