Tim Tigner, Falling Stars

Kyle Achilles' latest adventure pits him against Ivan the Ghost, the criminal mastermind we first met in Tigner's novella Chasing Ivan. This time, Ivan's got an ingenious plan that involves using cutting-edge technology and the human instinct for risk aversion to make a killing.

Achilles teams up with former-con-artist-turned-former-CIA-operative Jo Montfort to thwart him. Like Tigner's other Achilles novels, Falling Stars is a fast and fun read.

I'll definitely be reading more in the series (next up: Twist and Turn). (Also, Tigner has a stand-alone novel coming out soon! Check out The Price of Time.)
