A thrill-less thriller is a real disappointment, and despite some colorful globe-hopping, Judd Ryker's fourth outing falls flat. This time, he is sent to Nigeria to track down an American businessman who seems to be the victim of the old Nigerian email scam, but he soon finds out that the case is much bigger than he expected and that it involves Ryker's wife, Jessica, who is being touted among Russian criminal circles as the dreaded "Queen of Sheba." Judd comes into contact with other twisty characters including a basketball star, a Cockney killer, and a local judge who seems to know more than he admits.
VERDICT Narrator Piter Marek does his best to keep whatever action there is flowing smoothly, but this is definitely a marginal and optional purchase for public libraries.
