About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a dark, twisty crime story about kidnapping and political corruption with a hard-edged lead; Not for you if you prefer lighter mysteries or warm characters like in The Courier.
Pros: tense kidnapping mystery; gritty crime atmosphere; corruption-focused plot | Cons: cold main character; dark subject matter; morally bleak tone
