Suspenseful and intriguing
- Jonathan Hemlock is an unlikely assassin. An art professor in New York, his students love and admire him, despite his cold demeanor. Still, an assassin he his, a side profession he uses to fund his penchant for black market art. It is his art collection that gets him into trouble when the company he freelances for, the CII, hires him for another job … one he tries to turn down. Ultimately, though, he is roped into taking the assignment, and it proves to be far more perilous than he anticipated. Problem number one: the assignment requires him to climb the Eiger, one of the most treacherous peaks in the Swiss Alps. Problem number two: he doesn’t know who his target is. He’s left to figure that out on his own. What ensues is a suspenseful, intriguing, and utterly enjoyable romp through treacherous terrain, peopled by an interesting array of characters. Joe Barrett’s voice is a great match for the story, and he draws you in and doesn’t let go.
