Jeffery Deaver - EDGE

Everyone has weakness

He'll find yours

512pgs, membacanya sy rs mcm berlakon filem thriller. As the praises to this novel, it was indeed brilliantly plotted, well written and pacy. Rasanya mmg readers tahu trademark Jeffery Deaver ni twists and surprises. Along the way saya tensed. Few times stop sbb ada rasa takut nak teruskan bacaan. Tapi sbnrnya ia taklah setakut yg saya imaginasikan. The torture was tolerable for me hu hu...

Thriller story ttg Officer Corte yang ditugaskan utk melindungi seorg detektif n keluarganya krn  menjadi sasaran seorg lifter (information's extractor) iaitu Henry Loving. Loving seorg lifter kejam dan licik yg diupah utk dapatkan maklumat yg dikehendaki drpd sasaran dlm apa cara, sekalipun mendera n membunuh. His method is by having the edges that could make the target spell the information needed.

6 years ago the same Henry Loving had murdered Abe Fallow, the mentor of Officer Corte dlm satu misi perlindungan yg dilakukan. Now, dlm tugasnya melindungi Detektif Ryan n keluarga, Corte turut ada keinginan memberkas Loving, which is not in his scope of duty.

Byk scenes yg mendebarkan sepanjang usaha melindungi detektif Ryan dan keluarganya. Lepas satu, satu. Kita fikir begitu, tapi rupanya begini. Kita fikir orang tu, tapi rupanya dia ini. Tugas Corte bkn saja melindungi Ryan dan keluarganya tapi turut memastikan setiap sesuatu atau seseorg dilindungi in such a way sbb Loving akan utilize each and everything connected to the target as edges. 

Semua strategi Corte byk dibantu oleh protegenya, Claire duBois yg sgt genius. Cepat je Claire dptkan maklumat yg dikehendaki Corte. And the most interesting was, Corte selalu gunakan konsep rule of play dlm few games yg dia pnh main. Hmm.... I am not a game player, so payah sikit nak blend dgn kepala saya ni hu hu...

Endingnya tolerable, sbb saya dok fikir sesuatu yg sgt tragis atau yg sgt menggerunkan. 

To summarised, I love Edge. Thriller mmg blend dgn Jeffery Deaver. Apa tidaknya, he was a former journalist, folksinger and an attorney! Dah tulis more than 80 novels, his books are sold in 150 countries and translated into 25 languages. 

Hmm... bak kata Babang... jauhnya bintang tu...
