Matterhorn

 By: Christopher Reich

Location: FIC REI

Genre: Thriller

Matterhorn” by Christopher Reich was one of the most exciting thrillers I have read in a long time! An American agent who has been in hiding in the Swiss Alps because of a double cross has to return to his real identity. He finds himself wanting revenge for the murder of his son by his double crossing ex best friend and partner. He did not know his son was a CIA agent, he did not know why he was climbing the Matterhorn, or what his deadly mission was, or that there was a terrorist plot to kill millions. These comments are just a hint to tell you that this book left me breathless! The author’s skillful storytelling and vivid characters had me reading way into the night. This book is #1 of a new series and I can’t wait for the next installment!!! Goodreads Review
