Review:

Neal Morley has closed a case involving an international drug ring to the satisfaction of his superiors, but not to his own satisfaction. And apparently not to the satisfaction of the guys who got away, because suddenly the people Morley's talking to are starting to die violently. A well-put-together thriller with a world-weary middle-aged hero to rival John LeCarre's George Smiley.
