The book is a best seller: rightly so because it captures the reader from the beginning to the end and it is not easy to put it down because of the suspense, the rhythm, the drama, the magnificent elaboration of the characters -both main and secondary-. It is agile and very entertaining. The details are very well taken care of. The ending is unexpected and surprising. It has some sensual scenes. The author wrote this novel in the nineties, a decade in which he was the best selling thriller writer.
