My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Cal is Black's old army buddy and he has asked for help on a new case which is a bizarre murder in San Jose where a man has been found sawed in half. The victim is a wealthy venture capitalist and was soon to become Cal's brother-in-law. He has disappeared just before his 40th birthday. Black was holed up in Santa Fe with his wife Miri waiting for another friend recovering from a near-fatal injury and so with time to kill he agrees to take on the case. But nothing is how it seems - especially when the main suspect takes out Black and Miri destroying a building in the process. It sets off a chain of events that could have significance for the entire world, plus an old enemy is waiting to take advantage of the situation and to get his revenge on Miri and Black. Killing them might be his final act before he remakes the world in his own twisted image - only this time he will have the creation#s two most powerful beings at his side.
Wow. I had to sit for some time before my head was clear enough in order to write a review of this book. There were a lot of fast-moving changes that had a really major significance on the world as well as Black and Miri themselves. I loved the multiple layers and the way that they were seamlessly woven into a cohesive story. The local police in San Jose and her knowledge as well as acceptance of certain situations - I really hope she comes to work for Black's company. The changes that happened in this story were unexpected and I certainly didn't see some of them coming. It was nice to see the vampire involvement, as well as Miri's sister Zoe, being central to some of the story - I really hope the relationship between the sisters is repaired in some way. A lot happened. and I'm sure some of this will set the way for the next book in the series. The epilogue via the link at the end was good as well. Well written, easy to read and understand. You need to have read the previous books in the series before this read this book.
