The Anglo-Saxon literary world, talking about Jeff Abbott is equivalent to talk about new promises and action thrillers. Already many have compared with the level established writers James Patterson, John Grisham and Lee Child. We are facing an author who has been recognized with awards including the Agatha or Macavity and has been nominated three times for Edgar Allan Poe Award granted by the Association Mystery Writers of America . Fear is not your first novel and already there will be two big screen adaptations of his novels Panic (also The Idea Factory ) and Collision (still unreleased in Spain). But leaving aside the merits of this emerging author, include its work on the novel in question.
is not in Jeff Abbott complicated prose and the author seems more focused on the plot in the style, however, this does not mean that his writing is sloppy, but quite the opposite. It has a simple but dynamic writing, with doses of action and intrigue from its first pages. After reading and looking with hindsight, the reader has the feeling of having experienced a tremendous change, have led many plot surprises. A premise of this novel is that nothing is as it seems and with that aura of mistrust pervaded just one as you progress through the plot towards the end.
As for the plot, the story centers around the emergence of a new drug called Frost is able to eliminate some of the memories that favor certain related psychological trauma. The drug, tested illegally by a government enterprise, is robbed and threatened with being sold to the highest bidder. The psychiatrist, Miles Kendrick, FBI protected witness is murdered in her own practice and unleash the unknowns. Thus, this and several patients of Dr. Allison Vance, ended up agreeing on a causal, not casual, to unravel the mystery of his death and find out the whereabouts of the stolen information on to Frost. There are many clues that the author is leaving in its pages for the reader to go tying ropes, but still a challenging task and it is not until the end that reveals the drive shaft of the whole plot. The characters also are quite solid, with well-established intra and had a good time warping for this personality of each one of them. The author makes the reader feel involved, which is excited. In closing I will say that, for fans of thrillers and mystery, this is a good book for entertainment. There is no doubt that Jeff Abbott is opening a gap to be among the greats of the genre with great skill.
