A fan of Tapper as a journalist, but as a novelist he falls into the familiar journalistic-trap: the detail (great in a news story) overwhelms the storytelling, leaving a decent (not spectacular) premise flat on the page. At times, too, this first novel reads as a bit of an insider's game, with names dropped just to be dropped rather than to move the plot forward in a significant (or at least entertaining) way.
