True to form, Connelly delivers another gripping book. Much of the narrative is taken up with the actual court proceedings as Haller crosses the floor to work for the prosecution. In less skilled hands this could have been boring or even obtuse, but for Connelly its meat and potatoes and he manages to infuse it with enough threat and tension and characterisation to make it a thoroughly enjoyable, sustained read.
