I really like Mark Dawson's work. The earlier offerings in this series (THE CLEANER was decent, and SAINT DEATH and 1000 YARDS were really good) really hooked me, as did the first books in his Isabella Rose and Beatrix Rose series. This one just missed the mark (no pun intended) for me. It's an inevitable part of any series; there's always a book or three that just don't click for a reader and that was this book for me. The premise was fine and I was interested to know what happened to the girl at the beginning of the book, but the supporting cast of characters Milton worked and interacted with felt pretty flat, from the girl's boyfriend all the way to the predictable evil politicians. I'm still a huge Mark Dawson fan and will continue to read his books, but this one just didn't give me the same thrills I've come to expect from his work.
