This was the first book I've read by this author and must say that it was an enjoyable read. Though it seems as that there are two separate stories being threaded throughout the novel, the author very subtly brings them together towards the climatic ending. This is a complex, action-filled thriller that explodes in a dramatic crescendo; it is also rich with historical background and stunning detail. I give it 4-Stars.
DESCRIPTION: International lawyer John Cann would never defend a war criminal - particularly the Serb accused of horrific acts during the Bosnian War of the 1990s. But when his friend, mentor and Senior Partner Arthur Matsen needs his help, John has to make a tough decision. Struggling with legal issues and ethical dilemmas in Europe, John's past is close behind. Never far from his mind is Janie Reston, the young college student viciously abused and left for dead by terrorists in "Bargained for Exchange". As John uncovers what lies deep in Matsen's past, Janie is in increasing peril. Will past, present and future intersect or will time run out?
