About this audiobook
American radiologist Peter Ross just wanted a vacation. But when he meets the beautiful Angela Locke on a Spanish beach, he soon finds himself caught in a murderous crossfire between rival gangs seeking a precious artifact.
From Barcelona to the rain-swept streets of Paris, from the towers of the Alhambra to its darkest catacombs, Peter Ross is an ordinary man in desperate circumstances: racing to uncover a secret lost for centuries, before he becomes its next victim.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Very different than his "regular" stuff. Seems like he wrote this quickly over a weekend. Very quick plot. More of a humorous caper story than a hard boiled mystery. Worth the read, but the new video interview sections were annoying. Should have reprinted the story without adding it.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Not very believable……… zzz zzz zzz zzz zzz zzz zzz
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It was interesting... It was like watching action movie. It was good and gangster x
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great story kept me guessing all the way through .
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I got one thing from this book. Don't trust anybody, and I mean anybody.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A Curio book - John Lange being a pen named used by Michael Crichton in the 60's. Like the other half dozen I've already read it is a good time passer, but this one had two glaring ...inconsistencies?
Toward the end of the novel the author tries to pull off a standard 'you think its one person but its really another!' switch, but it just feels botched. The second problem is the framing device used - the novel has an intro and outro as a fantastic story being told by a grandfather to a grandson - but the outro makes specific reference to DVD's?? There is no mention on the copyright page of any update to the text so....What the Hell? Was it added later and not copyrighted, was it an update from an older phrase like 8-track that was un-credited? If so, who made the change? And what else has been altered in the book??1 person found this helpful
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Absolute HCC thriller with bare plot and characters, but fun to spend a day or so reading.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This was ok for what it was. A quick light pulp adventure. Some ok plot twists and lots of intrigue. If you want a pulp story and it doesn't have to be good, just scratch the itch. This is it.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Another early Crichton published under his John Lang pseudonym. As usual, it's vaguely entertaining and yet utterly implausible. He starts with a decent noir framework but then piles on a ridiculous number of plot twists that leave me wanting something simpler. The prologue and epilogue may have been added by him when Hard Case reissued this in 2006.
