I picked this up with hesitation and because I was desprate. I was surpiringly but not surprised that this was a great read. one of my favorite sigma series characters was in this book. the plot started slowish but definitely got better. as this is one of rollins earlier books it is clear thathe is less subtle with thrill writing techniques, for example the mysterious floor number four. overall I am glad I read it and will probably pick up another early rollins novl in the future.
