Summary
After a massive heart attack, Jack Getty is fitted with a wireless pacemaker, the most high tech one out there. As soon as he's home, he begins to suspect that all is not as it should be. This CEO finds himself in a race to protect not only his life, but the lives of his family.
This novel hits the ground running from the opening scene. I especially like that we are not given a long exposition about his background and life before the start, instead it is explained throughout the story. The characters are enjoyable and the writing is tight.
The only complaint I would have is the language, which was stronger than I like.
Anyone who is looking for a fast paced thriller, where you can't be sure who's on your side, this is just the story I would recommend.
