It is a first novel and it is a hybrid, a thriller inhabited by people and ideas that are supposed to be taken seriously. This is a perilous task for a writer: the plot must move with the narrative overdrive of high adventure, but the people threaten to slow the action as the author develops their ideas, strengths and flaws.
