After two hundred pages I definitely felt the death instinct creeping over me. Frankly I just could not take any more of the two main characters, a smartarse police Captain and an obnoxious doctor. The plot is built around an actual incident when a large bomb was detonated outside the Wall St offices of the J.P. Morgan bank. No one was ever apprehended for this crime. Alright, this is as good as anything for an imaginative chap to build a story round and Mr Rubenfeld does not do a bad job if one ignores the tendency of Americans to assume that once they decide that anyone is a villain they are free to behave as brutally as they like and no one should complain. Sorry not for me.
