The Last Good Man: The First 30 Chapters
The Last Good Man (Scribner/Simon & Schuster 2012). This has been an interesting read. I wouldn't put it in the same vein as books like the Robert Langdon novels or the Cotton Malone books but it has this mystery appeal that makes the later worth reading. It's a Danish written collaboration which is just now getting major fanfare but has been in the US for the past year or so. It basically follows the tale of mysterious deaths 34 so far, of the so called "good people" of which according to the Jewish Talmud in a generation there are 36. The race is on as a Danish police officer teams up with the ex-wife of one of the people he looked into as "good". In the early stages it does seem repetitive to remind you the basis of the search but if you read past it then it has it's good dialogue and plot.
