This is the third Jake Boulder book but the first I've read. I loved Past Echoes and now plan to read the other two books. I don't feel I had to read the other books in the series to enjoy this book or understand what was going on.
Past Echoes contains two plot lines that run parallel to each other. Jake needs to find a man whose been left an inheritance by a woman he hasn't seen for 40 years and use information she's provided to expose high-level corruption. He also needs to find the father who abandoned him and persuade him to save his dying brother's life.
I love books with complex, twisting storylines. Past Echoes pulls off the two different storylines with expert skill. It was easy to follow the sequence of events despite all the twists and turns taken. This book is very fast-paced and fairly rattles along. I was gripped from start to finish.
Past Echoes is a fantastic thriller.
