I did not buy the premise of this thriller and it was convenient that the MC had a PI, a doctor, a lawyer, and a gangster in his circle when everything went down. Despite that, I did enjoy this because it was just the kind of over the top thriller that‘s fun to mix in with my other summer reading. The author note at the end shared the personal experiences that inspired the book, and that helped too. A quick read.
