Desperate Measures
Amazon.com
My review -
This
is the third book in the CXVI trilogy and is as complex and fast-moving as
Angie Smith's readers have come to expect. Greg Woods has retired and is
suffering from a serious illness. He is helped by Zoe, a young journalist, to
find his old working partner Maria Barnes. These two had a deep relationship
and we see more of it here. Zoe is in contact with two computing experts who've
been captured by terrorists and forced to do some heavy duty hacking. There's
lots of action, some people get their comeuppance and the story is explosive in
every sense.
This
is a satisfying ending to a story which followed double-dealing in high places
and many a time I guessed wrongly as to whose side some of the characters were
on. It's gripping, thrilling, and - the best thing I can say about a book - I
cared about what happened to the characters. Excellent stuff.
