I knew his girlfriend needed to be disposed of for the good of the next book so I was sure she'd be killed. It might have worked out as a better story that way.

And there were unbelievable deductions, the worst being how he finds Hubble, even "figuring out" the name he is using as an alias.

And I guessed about the source of paper for the counterfeiting long before I was supposed to.

This isn't the kind of book you read because the characters are believable. You read it because you like a story where an almost magically capable guy puts things right against overwhelming odds. I enjoyed it.
