If you're looking for a hero in the main character of this novel, you'll be sorely disappointed! What he is, is a con man that was falsely accused of murder and took asylum in a country run by a blood-thirsty dictator. Twelve years later, he's running again, going home to face his accusers, while hiding from the secret police from the country of his asylum.
Another great story from Phillip Margolin. Once I started this book I had a hard time putting it down. Stayed up till 2 a.m. to finish it as I had no idea what the outcome would be. A great read if you like mysteries ,and one I highly reccommend.
