Fiction. Mystery. Suspense. Thriller. HTML:The gritty, riveting, highly anticipated sequel to the national (and international) best seller Ghostman, by the critically acclaimed and award-winning Roger Hobbs

Itâ??s just before dawn on the South China Sea when three experienced pirates open fire on a small smuggling yacht. Their target: a bag of uncut sapphires worth millions. But when one of them stumbles across an enormous treasure that wasnâ??t on the manifest, everything goes sideways. Within minutes two of them are dead, leaving the third, a coldblooded psychopath, to claim both the sapphires and the mysterious windfall for himself. If he disappears, he wonâ??t just be wealthy. Heâ??ll have the power to change the course of history.
His boss, Angela, isnâ??t about to let that happen. She calls in a favor from her onetime protégé: a fixer sometimes known as Jack, or more often as simply the Ghostman. Within hours heâ??s flying halfway around the world to find her in the glimmering neon slums of Macau. Jack has no real name, no address and no fingerprintsâ??but given the right motivation, he can make serious problems vanish. Though the two havenâ??t talked since they botched a job six years ago, as soon as Jackâ??s off the plane theyâ??re back together again, facing down a crime boss, a hit man and a conspiracy bigger than anything theyâ??ve ever encountered and more dangerous than they couldâ??ve imagined.
Their partnershipâ??between people with no lasting relationships whatsoeverâ??is at the very heart of a novel that will cement Roger Hobbsâ??s

Fast paced story of the master thief, ghostman, human chameleon.

I wont go into details of the story to avoid spoilers. What I can say is that story takes place in around 72 hours it is very fast paced with lots of action, twists and turns and violence.

Book is written in same way as [a:Richard Stark|13634|Richard Stark|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1287877064p2/13634.jpg]'s Parker series - some flashbacks giving details on the main character and his relations with other people in the story. If you seek deeply developed characters this might not be your cup of tea. Main element here are a heist, numerous twists and inner workings of the criminal groups.

Highly recommended to all thriller fans. ( )

Closer to 3.75. I think this was a little better than the first book but still seems to wrap up a little too quickly. Very enjoyable. though. ( )

Very exciting... a bit choppy, but interesting!

I was a bit disappointed in 'Vanishing Games'. I liked Hobbs' first Ghostman novel, but this was a step back: mediocre writing, a decent plot, dialogue that was wooden at times, overuse of jargon, and unbelievable (as in 'not believable') action sequences.

Don't get me wrong, I love an action novel that's a quick read, but when I find myself saying too many times 'that can't happen', then I have a problem with it. On the other hand, I did learn a few things about a couple topics that will remain nameless due to spoiler potential, but that didn't compensate for the not-believable stuff. ( )

Started out strong and the resolution of the central plot was okay, if a little cliched, but the ending was a big let-down. ( )

A few hours before dawn on the morning of his last job, Sabo Park got down on his belly next to the rifle on the bow of the fishing boat, eased forward into a comfortable shooting position and flipped open the lens cap on his night-vision scope.
