Monte and his team are interesting and well-developed characters. I look forward to subsequent books in this series, to find out more of their backstories and relationships. Their adversary, the Vorticist himself, is an ugly, ugly man.
Monte Boutista is a wonderfully written – and original – detective, ably assisted and investigating the cruel and suave Christian Schwartzkopf. There are mysterious secrets to disentangle, past events brought to light. The story zips along, inviting the reader to sift through the myriad of clues towards the tense and intriguing conclusion.
