minimal character development. there is no one in the book to care about or be interested in. the biggest mystery is why the main character continues to investigate his wife's past.

A doctor from Doctors without Borders finds himself caught in a nightmare when his wife dies in a mountain climbing accident. He is stuck in plots of treason and possible nuclear war while being shot at and knifed by unknown assassins for reasons he can't begin to understand. As he tries to get himself out of the mess, he finds he needs to find out who his wife really was and what she was involved in. The reader is as confused as Jonathan is as to which conspiracy groups are the good guys and which the bad ones. The deluded Pilot is a creepy villian.
