This is another standard thriller by Goddard: take one middle-aged, divorced man, add some tragic event involving a distant friend, and send him traveling through several countries to find the truth. Add a generous amount of a historical conspiracy (in this case, the Russian Royal Family) and you have the typical modern-setting thriller novel that Goddard is known for. I have been reading Mr. Goddard's novels since I first travelled overseas in 2001, and I find that they all begin to sound alike after a while. The only difference in this one is that our main character is employed, is not an alcoholic, nor does he have a past. This one is good, but typical. 3 out of 5 stars.

I would recommend 'Caught In the Light' and 'Closed Circle' by this author. Both are well written and do not reflect the 'standard' fare by this author.
