Pat Nolan, an American, is summoned to Paris to claim the body of his estranged daughter Megan who has committed suicide. The body, however, is not Megan's and it becomes instantly clear to Pat that Megan staged this, that she is in serious trouble, and that she is calling to him for help. This sends Pat on an odyssey with Catherine Laurence, a beautiful but tormented Paris detective, that stretches across France and into the Czech Republic and that makes him the target of both the French police and a band of international terrorists.

I really liked this book. Set in post-911 France/Morocco/Czech Republic, this book is very well written. From the beginning, when Pat went to get Megan's body and realized that the body wasn't hers and sets off on his quest to find her to Megan's story, which honestly scared me in some points.


There were numerous twists and turns in the plots. Some obvious and others, like the terrorists killed Uncle Daniel and the ending, which surprised me. I liked how the characters were realistically portrayed and how their relationships were astoundingly normal.


I also liked the fact that the Gypsies (or Roma) were used in the story. I find them fascinating and actually did some research on them when I finished the book.

I gave this book a 5 star review on Shelfari. I would highly recommend it to any of my friends and relatives.
