This second installment of Abbott's Sam Capra series is a rollicking good thriller with some wry humor thrown into a tale of global organizations with a lot of money, one with the intent to make life miserable for powerful people, the other to maintain a safer world. Definite need to suspend belief and just roll with the punches as Sam tries to find the infant son he has not yet met. He's tasked to kill. Can he do it? Is there another way to get his son from the clutches of the diabolical Nine Suns? Who are they, anyway? Rated at 3.5Main Character:Sam Capra - Ex-CIA analyst who is trying to find his kidnapped sonSynopsis:Sam Capra must commit an impossible assassination--or he will lose the only person in the world who matters to him . . . Sam Capra has one reason to live: to rescue his baby son from the people who abducted him. An ex-CIA agent, Sam now owns bars around the world as cover for his real mission-working undercover for a secret network as mysterious as it is powerful, while using his skills to find his child.Now the kidnappers have offered a deadly deal: they'll surrender Sam's child...if Sam finds and murders the one man who can expose them. Teaming up with a desperate young mother whose daughter is also missing, Sam tracks his prey-and his son-across the country in a dangerous race against time, and must unravel a deadly conspiracy if he's to rescue the only person in the world that matters to him.My Thoughts:The story is fast paced and Sam and the other characters are interesting and well drawn. There is a lot of intrigue and misdirection so that things I thought of as certainty turned out to be completely wrong.
