PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Pfl ger's uneven sequel to 2017's In the Dark, German special ops agent Jenny Aaron learns that Ludger Holm, the criminal who blinded her five years earlier, has bequeathed her $2 billion in a bank in Marrakech, Morocco. Aware that this is a lure, Aaron leaves for Marrakech with her mission partner, Ulf Pavlik. Upon arriving, they discover that the Broker, one of the world's most dangerous terrorists, is after the money and that he was behind the murder of Aaron's beloved father. Her quest to avenge her father's death is particularly fascinating, and she must rely on her augmented senses of smell and hearing to defend herself. Unfortunately, the dozens of secondary characters and a subplot involving Aaron's department leader make the main plot difficult to follow. Nevertheless, compassionate moments between characters add poignancy, and a subplot involving Aaron potentially regaining her sight intrigues. Despite some flaws, this is a thriller worth reading.
