Críticas

Readers will root for the tough, intelligent Vail while savoring the sexual tension between him and his FBI handler.... This fast-paced thriller includes many authentic-seeming details about the Bureau's bureaucracy. --Booklist

A blistering debut.... [The] cat-and-mouse game between Vail and the Pentad's chief [has] enough jolts to create a legion of fans.... Irresistible red meat for connoisseurs of action thrillers. --Kirkus Reviews

Vail is in the mold of Lee Child's Jack Reacher and Robert Crais's Joe Pike, though more playful than either one.... The reader is treated to some of the snazziest, smartest, and often surprising dialogue likely to show this or any season.... Vail is fun to watch as he outthinks everyone else in the room, no matter the room.... That there will be more Bricklayer tales is unquestioned. This guy has movie written all over him. --Chicago Sun-Times

Reseña del editor

Ex-FBI Steve Vail is visiting Kate Bannon, the Assistant Director at the FBI, for what he thinks is a well-earned and romantic New Years Eve in Washington, DC, when he quickly finds himself knee-deep in a very complicated and unusual case.

A man known simply as Calculus, an intelligence officer at the Russian embassy, has approached the FBI claiming he has a list naming several Americans who are supplying confidential government information to the Russian secret service. All he asks in exchange for the list is a quarter of a million dollars for each traitor the FBI nabs. But then Calculus informs the FBI that he's been suddenly recalled to Moscow, and the Bureau suspects the worst: the Russians are onto Calculus (if they don t actually have him in custody), probably have access to his list, and will be after the traitors to kill them soon unless the FBI can find them first.

The FBI knows they have to find Calculus and everyone on the list before the Russians do, but, without knowing exactly who is on the list, they also have to keep the operation quiet. Once again, Vail is their man. He's the perfect guy for this kind of under-the-radar investigation. But finding Calculus and his list of turncoats isn't going to be easy. In fact, it's going to be downright deadly.
