I didn't "get" this book and found it long, tedious and confusing. It was possibly too involved for my leisure reading.

This is a fast pace adventure. This would make a great movie. It did take me a minute to get into it but once I did I couldn't put it down. Liked the evolution of the characters and how the story progressed Great Book!

Kate Farrow an MI6 psychiatrist, is trying to help regain the memory of a suspected terrorist with "torture induced amnesia". Time is running out for Kate, and she must get to the bottom of this. She is the one to find out the truth behind her new patient. Together the two will find themselves into something very deep and lives are in danger.
A well written fast paced nail-biting tale of suspense. I like that the story takes place in Europe and the Middle East, this adds more intrigue to the story. The plot is thick, and believable. Something that could really be happening in the world today.
There is psychological suspense, intrigue and some seriously dangerous situations the two encounter. I feel that lovers of (political) thriller/suspense will enjoy, Skin in the Game.… (altro)
