Arthur Cathcart and Natsumi Fitzgerald wanted to believe they were free of the nearly invisible, malignant forces they had pursued, and been pursued by, across the globe. The tech-freak researcher and blackjack-dealing psychologist convinced themselves that life on a sailboat in the Caribbean, incognito and in love, could be a lasting refuge. The death of that illusion was as brutal as it was abrupt. And so it is that Arthur and Natsumi take to the fight.

Review ''At the start of Knopf's highly inventive third mystery featuring market researcher Arthur Cathcart, armed men seize Cathcart and girlfriend Natsumi Fitzgerald from their sailboat and threaten them with torture unless they reveal the location of a missing billion dollars, of which they know nothing. A temporary reprieve allows the couple, who have been living in the Caribbean under aliases, to assess their situation and conclude that they will never be safe until they get out from under the (false) charges against them back in the States . . . Lending a hand are former FBI agent Shelly Gross, cyber geek Strider, and Cathcart's doctor sister, Evelyn. Throughout, Cathcart proves as nimble on his feet as he is quick witted.'' --Publishers Weekly ''Knopf's first two Cathcart-Fitzgerald tales were widely acclaimed, and this third maintains that standard. Tension starts high and just keeps growing in this smart tale revolving around cybersecurity and cybercrime in which millions of dollars can be gained or lost with a keystroke. Riveting.'' --Booklist (starred review)

Three for Three By Jep Streit Chris Knopf's new novel is the third in the series featuring financial and tech wiz Arthur Cathcart and his girlfriend Natsumi Fitzgerald. I thoroughly enjoyed the first two entries but this latest entry is the one that made me late for work. I began reading the novel each morning instead of the paper and the third day had about thirty pages left when I needed to leave, but simply kept going, unable to wait later until after work to find out how it ended.As other reviewers have noted, Arthur Cathcart is a Lazarus figure, shot in the head and left for dead but surviving and eventually tracking down those responsible for shooting him and his wife (who did not survive). After determining who was responsible, the second novel follows Cathcart and his girlfriend as they delve into why the attack was ordered.This novel begins with sudden and overwhelming danger, descending when Cathcart and his girlfriend imagine themselves utterly safe. This dynamic of unexpected and constant danger is maintained throughout the novel, creating an experience of constant tension, an unending cat and mouse game between Cathcart and a shadowy cast of enemies out to get him, so everyone he meets is a potential threat. Cathcart is a great protagonist, no James Bond or Jack Reacher figure, but a middle-aged techy, acutely aware of his own intellectual diminishment from being shot in the head, yet determined and resourceful.Bottom line: Knopf's done it again. Superbly.

Mr. Knopf has done a great job of keeping up the cyber sleuthing and cyber sneaking to a level that is understandable and yet still very credible. I can only hope that there is an avenue to extend this series. It took me almost four hours to read the book. Lucky for me I didn't have to drive anywhere once I started reading. I understand that driving and reading a Chris Knopf novel are frowned upon by the law. I liked and believed the characters and was happy to see the way their situation was resolved. A great read and one that I highly recommend.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Here we go again - thank heaven By Philip Taft We vacation every year in Antigua - same place, same time. Every year I take a book. One book. And I dive in. Last year, it was Chris Knopf's extraordinary Dead Anyway. Some of the scenes were so gripping I forgot to go to the beach. This year, it's A Billion Ways to Die and, judging from the first 30 or so pages (I snuck a peek), I'll need to set an alarm for the beach. Cathcart and Fitzgerald are all caught up in it again — and I can't wait to read how it resolves.Knopf is one of my favorite mystery writers. His characters are Runyanesque, his prose a fine blend of brevity and insight, spare yet densely packed with meaning. Most important, he forces you to turn every page briskly to see what's next. Maybe I'll take another book. I'll probably finish ABWTD on the plane.Thank you, Chris Knopf. My vacations are so much better now.
