This book was obviously written soon after 9/11 as those events seem to hang over the characters a bit and there are lots of terrorist lookouts. This is the third book in the Frank Pavlicek mystery and finds Frank and Jake trying to determine who murdered a fellow falconer. Lots of action, government suspicion, and general double crossing which made it hard to figure out what was really happening. Like the interplay between Frank and his daughter Nicole as well as learning more about falconry.

I enjoyed reading this book. The plot moved along well, the characters were well written and the falconer angle was interesting. I give it 3 stars out of 5. There were repetitive typos,i.e., the number 1 instead of the pronoun I and "comer" for corner. The ending was too far fetched for my taste. The conspiracy part of the ending left me cold--reminded me of 9-11 conspiracies prevalent in Muslim countries(CIA plot). The book takes place in West Virginia, adding 1 more book to my US state mystery challenge.

I received a free copy of this ebook from the publisher through NetGalley.com.

Update: Brash books has responded to my review and promised to fix typos. Kudos to Brash Books. My wife is reading it now and has noticed more typos: a slash instead of pronoun I, kitty "utter" for litter, "smelted" for smelled. Update Dec 19,2015 My wife finished and enjoyed this book. She thought the ending was ok.
