Jeff Abbott (Get this book) Thriller Award winner Abbott draws on Shakespeare's "King Lear" for his outstanding fourth Sam Capra novel. When Steve Robles, an old friend of Sam's, is shot dead outside the Miami bar that Sam runs, Sam, a former CIA agent, resolves to find Steve's killer. Under the name Sam Chevalier, Sam goes "inside" the luxurious Varela family compound in Puerto Rico, where Steve was working a security job for frightened Cordelia Varela. Abbott injects enough of Sam's back story to make his intricate plot believable, judiciously spices his tale with tasteful but usually interrupted romance, and convincingly makes Sam a genuine contemporary "chevalier."--Publisher's Weekly
