I've been reading quite a few mysteries lately so my son loaned me this book. I've also been plagued with fatigue in the past 2 months, therefore sleep takes precedents over reading so it took me a while to get through this story. This story was co-authored and both authors did a flawless job in creating an appetizing story and meshing writing styles.

It was well written and I was pulled in during the first chapter. The story revolves around a policeman and an FBI agent (who at the beginning of the story is presumed dead). A series of strange (and I do mean strange) and unusual deaths occur that at first seem unrelated until you put all of the puzzle pieces on the same table and you begin to see an interlocking pattern.

Each chapter dealt with a different person or place and it soon felt like a high-stake cat and mouse game. It was a thrilling ride but my disappointment came when I realized this was a series and I apparently started in the middle. I like my books to have a beginning and an end and while the truth behind the mystery unfolded (somewhat), I didn't get that finale I like in a story and it left me in the lurch waiting for the next book. I guess that is what a series book is supposed to do -- make you want to continue with the characters and their plight, but I don't like to hang with the same story line too long.
