The back of the book compares this story to Jeffrey Archer's ''Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less''. Forget it. This is a much better story. There's a decided similarity in terms of plot – the victim and friends fighting back against seemingly insurmountable odds to right an injustice, but that's where it ends. This story has more twists than a corkscrew and I reached a point where I simply had to keep reading to find out what would happen next. On more than one occasion I simply couldn't see how the situation could be retrieved. It's superbly, cleverly done. I had to suspend disbelieve over how easily Finn was initially ousted from Tiger Oil, but after that I was hooked.
Sartof is a talented storyteller and he drives his story skilfully skillfully though the city of London, PR firms and the law – and then onto the wilds of Canada and oil exploration. He's not bound by a particular genre either – the suspense is superb and no one would balk baulk at this being described as a thriller. The crime elements are well done and there's even just a touch of romance in there. But forget all the details – this is just a damned good story.
I'd like to thank the author for sending a copy to the Bookbag.
