An archaelogist became a changed man after his wife were killed in an excavation site. His refusal to meet his family, new lavish lifestyle and new girlfriend half his age worries his sons. As his sons tried to find out more, they realised that he has been hiding things from them, even before his wife dies.
The story engages me, dropping clues and bits of information that points to a great conspiracy. The pace was just right, with the author choosing to indulge in some extra details, presumably to bring more colours to the main characters. Though sometimes it seems the brothers got hold of the supposedly confidential information rather easily, I liked it as it makes the novel more direct and uncomplicated.
It has been a really interesting read, but the ending was a bit draggy for me. A lot of unnecessary meetings who doesn't really contribute to the climax. The ending, the unveiling of the truth, was rather predictable too. While that is acceptable, there are still several doubts I have in my mind, which I felt is unanswered. Its like I enjoyed the process, but was kinda letdown by the ending.
Overall, still a good book to spend your leisure time.
