" Ultimately disapointing. I actually enjoyed most of this. It is a long book but it didn't drag (in fact the ending was rather rushed) and the multiple story lines kept it interesting. In fact it is actually 2 completely independent stories, which leads me to the first problem, why are there 2 stories? The 2nd story seems only to be there so that the profiler can be in Germany, a extremely complex mechanism for such a minor thing. It would have worked if, and here is my 2nd problem, this 2nd story was not totally abandoned at the end of the book with a ridiculous ending. With no actual evidence the profiler (with police support) confronted the suspect and they just killed him, just awful. My 3rd problem was the plot hinging observation of the undercover detective with the profiler, in a curtainless window at night, how contrived. It was a real shame as a lot of the book was very enjoyable and both stories had a lot of potential. I would not recommend. "
