RULES OF DECEPTION; Christopher Reich; New York: Doubleday, 2008; 388p. Fiction.When Dr. Jonathan Ransom's wife is killed in a climbing accident in the Swiss Alps, he scarcely has a moment to grieve before he is caught between terrorists and counter-terrorists both of whom want something his wife had stashed in baggage claim at a small Swiss train depot.
Ransom soon finds himself running from the police, from agents who may be CIA gone bad, or
Pentagon gone bad, or Iranians smuggling centrifuge parts. Rules of Deception is a plot-driven rip-snorter of a read, relentless action from start to finish, with a few stale bits among the stock characters. Still, it could take your mind off things for a couple of hours, which couldn't hurt.
