Despite the fact that before the day Alex was a one man team, and on the day he turned up AFTER his surrogate team had answered his round of questions&#8230;the Silverthorn team won the final by a narrow margin! Last minute ring-in, James, was fast, accurate and unflappable! [...]]]></description>

Inside, the Senior Library was abuzz with talk of ‘rendition’, ‘erroneous rendition’ investigative journalists, CIA operatives, terrorist attacks and government overthrows.

I have to start by saying that I found this book very compelling. Each of the characters represented a different frame of mind and personality. They were all distinctly different and all of them were believable. They were brought to life so well in the book that it felt like the happenings in the book [...]]]></description>
