As Billy is manipulated by his unseen nemesis he finds himself
in a situation that seems hopeless, until he sheds his own morality,
as the killer intended. Billy is forced into actions he would
never have thought possible but now offer the only course to possible
salvation. I would have given this book a higher score except for one early point. When Billy is involved with his second decision I think the choices made could have been different, thus ending the problem. This would obviously have ended the book so you can understand why he did what he did. Accept this minor point and you have an exceptional story that will keep you glued to the book from beginning to end. Another thing I liked was the side story involving Billy's fiancée. This could have ended in a very cheesy fashion, common with many American feel good stories. However, it was handled very well and left your imagination to deal with the possibilities.
All-in-all another excellent thriller from one of the masters
of the genre. |
