A good, enjoyable read. A fair amount of action that had twists and turns along the way. This author is enjoyable because he doesn't result to gratuitous violence and language. The story revolves around the Dubai royalty hosting a very high profile Horse racing event which culminated with the presentation of an outrageously expensive statue of a Falcon. During the buildup this statue was stolen. The climax of the story Involved a threat to destabilise the rulers in the Middle East. I felt the climax of the story was somewhat rushed and could have been more involved. However still an excellent book. ( )
