There's *a lot* going on in this thriller—bad guys, more bad guys, Russian bad guys, American bad guys, mixing of the bad guys (past and present), a beautiful-sometimes-rogue French detective, multiple thefts. . . . It was a little hard to follow in the beginning, but I *think* I followed pretty well overall. I was never bored, for certain. If another Reich book comes on my radar, I'll give it a try.
