From Booklist
Berlin detective Jens Muller has just returned from Australia and is still recovering from the shock of learning that his parents, whom he thought died in a plane crash when he was 12, were still alive and living in the Australian outback--at least they were until Muller inadvertently led an assassin to their remote retreat. Years ago, his parents had infiltrated Semper, a shadowy, sinister, and highly dangerous criminal organization with plans to take over the world using a secret DNA weapon it believes Muller is hiding. Muller and his crack team--longtime partner Pappenheim, computer genius Hedi Meyer, and U.S. army colonel Carey Bloomfield--know they must stop Semper any way they can. Readers unfamiliar with earlier books in this series may find the latest installment a bit confusing at first, but the fast-moving plot, dramatic turns, and engagingly larger-than-life characters will soon turn them into avid fans of Savarin's snappy action-adventure series, which mixes the police procedural with a little 007 and a touch of
Mission Impossible.
