It was a nail biter, for sure. Lyndsey is our main protagonist and she is a completely human character, with remarkable skills but yet with very human failings. She is aCIA operative asked to head an inquiry into the murder of one of her former informants. The case turns into so much more s it progresses and she carefully uncovers deceit in surprising places. Lots of procedural detail and psychological descriptions.
