Summary: BUY THIS BOOK (and read it)
Review: I just read this book...it took me 2 sittings. Great development of characters. Page after page I was thoroughly interested in what was to happen next. I read about a book a week, and this one I would recommend to anyone. Looking forward to reading Montecino's other 2 books.

Summary: Powerful stuff
Review: Never have I read a book where the multiple plots and characters tie together and link so successfully without being disjointed and hard to comprehend. It was a hard book to read in that it was finely printed and so laden with characters that all link to the protagonist Jack Gold. Despite this, it was so harrowing and full of unmitigated violence and suspense that it was hard to put down! I suggest you start reading it in the morning to avoid the late night, straining over the fluroescent lights, want to put it down but can't because I have to know what's going to happen scenario. Some pretty graphic imagery in there too- not for the tender hearted or hypersensitive types. Pretty good for a first novel too- perhaps Montecino has tried a little TOO hard to include every possible element of a murder novel, making it very intense- still excellent though.

Summary: best thriller
Review: This is the best thriller I have ever read and I read quite a lot of them. I read it first in Italian translation and then in English, then I read it again in both versions many times. I read recently the tragic personal biography of the author and I was confirmed in my opinion that masterpieces of art are mainly made by troublesome persons. Best works I read, listened or saw were by suicidal persons. I can remember all works by Primo Levi (especially The drowned and the saved)or Stefan Zweig. In the thriller field James Ellroy and Dashiell Hammett. I don't know if they killed themselves but had many troubles. That gave them an uncommon depth and sensitivity.

Summary: Really Good Book....Go Out and Get It Today!
Review: This is the second book that I have read from Montecino...this was his first book that he ever wrote apparently...and it was excellent! The characters were well done...I felt so bad for one particular character...Esther....she goes through so much...the only fault that I found was that I wish that the author would have focused a bit more on the relationship between Esther and Clarke Johnson....otherwise the book was great! Heartstopping...kept me guessing what was going to happen next....and in some parts it definately throws you for a few spins! I am going to read "Big Time" now...which is also by Montecino...... Happy Reading to all!
