Another great Greg Iles book! The scheme is pretty complicated, and I think the scope of the government’s involvement wasn’t explored enough. Apparently, the good guys didn’t care who sent the helicopter for the bad guy in the end. I also wish he’d explained how some of the non-cancer deaths were caused, like Grace’s. But overall, it’s a great suspenseful novel.
