Fifteen years ago,
Leo and Diana were struck by a train. Were they playing chicken with
the locomotive; was it bad luck; or something more sinister?Detective Napoleon, Nap, Dumas wants to know why his twin brother,
Leo, died. The same night, Nap’s girlfriend, Maura disappeared. Now
her finger prints have appeared in another murder scene and the
victim is another classmate. Nap wants to know what happened to his
brother, and particularly why Maura disappeared.
This is a great
mystery. I didn’t figure out all the connections until the very
end. Nap is a good character. You can’t help liking him and rooting
for him to solve the old mystery even if the final solution is much
darker than he wants.
I thoroughly enjoyed
this mystery. Coban is at his best. Nap is a good cop, but to solve
murders, he is capable of bending the rules. In this case when Rex
Canton dies, he can’t help but see the connection to his brother’s
death, since Canton was a classmate. When other former classmates,
feel threatened, Nap believes that he is on the track of what caused
his brother’s death.
If you like
thrillers with great characters and a plot that’s hard to unravel
until the end, this is a very good one. The pace is fast. I found it
hard to put down. I highly recommend it.
I received this book
from Dutton for this review.
