Entertaining story revolving around the infamous Win, his family and history. Contains all the elements you know about Win's personality and methods. A great character willing to acknowledge his flaws, and one that I could continue to read about. Only negative was the constant direct references to Myron Bolitar throughout the story (45 of them, I counted), which I felt added nothing to story itself after the first 2 or 3, other than to say "hey, even though he's not in this story, this is still a story about a character you know and love".

Before I even opened the book, this one had two things going for it: I love getting in at the start of a new series and an author who NEVER disappoints! Windsor Home Lockwood III - or Win, for short - is rich; mega-rich, actually and has the family pedigree to prove it. When a suitcase with his initials is found at the scene of a murder along with one of his family's stolen paintings, the FBI doesn't take very long to get in touch. At the same time as these items went missing, Win's cousin Patricia was abducted and the FBI inform him that her attacker was also guilty of domestic terrorism. Win sets out to get to the truth and reclaim his family's artwork, but the righteous road isn't always clean and shiny - but then neither is Win. Well, here's a book which kept me riveted throughout. To begin with, I wasn't really sure that I even liked Win but by the end I had a change of heart in the face of his obvious good qualities and admirable persistence. There is a lot going on in this one, most of it surprising and quite unpredictable and it's fair to say the end came as quite a shock to me. Exciting, full of action and ultimately rewarding makes this a series I really want to follow. Highly recommended, and definitely worth all five stars.
