Hyde Park Deception is a terrific follow up to the initial thriller in Richard Lyntton's Deception series. It has all the action of that first volume, but also creates worlds (and politics) so real you can almost smell them. And if North Korea Deception was filled with complications, this new novel is even more complex, as it's set during the Bosnian War, with Serbs, Croats, Bosnians, Brits, Americans, NATO forces and UN Peacekeepers all desperately attempting to gain power amidst their conflicting goals.
