Book Log 2009 #43: The Ignorance of Blood by Robert Wilson

All of the threads of the Javier Falcon books come together here in one engrossing package. Still trying to bring the bombers from a previous book to justice, the case intersects with a Russian mobster who died in a car accident, Islamic terrorist operating out of Morocco, and a CIA agent who can't be fully trusted. As he inches towards the truth, Falcon is put under significant professional and personal pressures, as the case takes a turn straight out of his childhood.

This is the last book in the series, and sadly so. There's rarely a dull moment over the four books, and it's rare to find a main character of such depth in a crime novel. The setting adds even more body, with Seville almost becoming a character in itself (perhaps less so in this book, but certainly in the series).

So as sad as I am that this series is over, I at least have the last two books in the Bruce Medway series to read while waiting for whatever comes next.
