Batman and Robin
This was my first read of Davis and his crime busters and I dont think I will read another. Ditto on the editing and proofreading, worst Ive seen too. Three times characters were misnamed and easily spotted. I found it hard to swallow that a weeks worth or more of investigating and interviewing was done by 10:30 a.m. With the 8 P.M. deadline pushing them they got more done and more running around than anyone could accomplish in a traffic jammed area and only used a helicopter once I believe. I also thought Collins growing awareness of Amanda a bit pre-teenish.

Great Book; Fire Your Editor
I agree with "fjmcmm" 100%. Its an outstanding book with great characters and very suspenseful story line. I too like the fact that it all happens in one day. Having spent 22 years in the Air Force myself, I can relate to so much of it.
The one area that detracts from the effectiveness of the story is the editing. It is horrific and your editor should be fired. There are words missing, misspelled words, etc.
Obviously a great author; but a very poor editing job.

Very Good Read
This novel was very entertaining and moved at a fast pace. Loved the idea of everything taking place within a day. Even though Martin Collins is a favorite character of mine, I tend to like Simon even more. Such an intelligent mind and very likable character.
My only nitpick with this novel was the editing. This is the worse editing Ive ever seen in a novel. Other than that, I really enjoyed and cant wait to see what comes next from Mr Davis. Hopefully its the same characters with lots of Simon. Hes the best.
