Master hacker William Wing discovers that someone has broken into his Hong Kong apartment and stolen all the secrets on his computer--secrets that belong to clients such as Israel's Mossad intelligence agency. Afraid that he'll be killed as a result of the breach, he reaches out to his friend Jon Sommers, a former Mossad assassin who's now working undercover in a German bank (and having a hot-and-heavy romance with fellow spy Ruth Cohen). The thief is revealed to be Cassandra Sashakovich, an agent with an unnamed American intelligence agency who had been ratted out by a mole, raped by a terrorist and is now running for her life. The data she made off with includes plans for a tiny tracking gadget that allows one to see through the eyes of the person who swallows it; naturally, many people would kill to get their hands on it. Sommers brings together his few trusted allies, including hardened soldier Avram Shimmel, to help Wing and prevent the plans from falling into the wrong hands--but whose hands are the wrong ones? Kane ( Bloodridge , 2014) purports to be a former spy himself, and his extensive knowledge of the ways that the world's governments wage covert war on one another shines through in his incredibly detailed prose. At times, however, these details grow overwhelming and make it hard to keep track of who's spying on whom and why. However, readers who adore action-packed thrillers in the vein of Robert Ludlum's Bourne series will enjoy its many double-crossings. However, some readers should bewarned: There are graphic scenes of torture excruciating enough to possibly make one's stomach turn. Indeed, so many upsetting things happen to the main characters that it may be easy for readers to grow despondent about the state of the world by the time the story reaches its firestorm of a conclusion.

A dizzying spy story for readers with clear minds and steely constitutions." -- Kirkus ReviewsAbout the Author
