To coup or not to coup, that is the question

This is the 6th November Man thriller, and author Bill Granger has come up with a down and dirty tale of political puppets in the Caribbean. With brutal characterizations and in your face depictions of violence, this one is not for the squeamish. After faking his own death in the previous novel, "The Zurich Numbers", November aka Deveroux is tracked down in Switzerland by old nemesis Colonel Ready and is lured along with his lover, Rita Macklin to the island of St. Michel in the Caribbean. Colonel Ready is as evil as they come and is playing all sides in a power grab on the small island. With CIA, R Section and Cuban interests all colliding into a seething cauldron of violence, Deveroux must find a way to save Rita and himself from the clutches of Ready. Centering on a missing notebook, the story moves at a good, lively pace and Deveroux's ingenious revenge makes for a unsuspected and satisfying climax. What I like most about The November Man novels is the fact that the author gets the most out of every page and tells a fairly complex, interesting story in under 250 pages. If you have never read a November Man novel before, I would not reccomend starting with this one because it is in the middle of a multi-novel storyline. Read "Schism" and go forward in order from there.
