Act of Treason Blog part 3 (chapters 7-13)

The chapters start out with Rapp having a stakeout in front of a building where there are suspicious figures in a van. Then one of them comes out and a guy from the building comes out and gives the van guy some money. Then Rapp calls for back up. Then the scene shifts to Gazich, the terrorist bomber. He decides something is wrong and decides to leave Cyprus soon. Then it switches once again to Rapp (starting to get a bit annoying). Rapp waits and scouts out the scene when all of a sudden some guy dressed like the suspicious guy in a security tape right before the bombing of the car. Rapp realizes that this guy may be the same guy and looks closer. At closer examination, Rapp realizes that the man who just arrived had silently killed the men in the truck and was talking to dead bodies to avoid suspicion. Then the man went into an apartment building. Rapp waits a couple minutes and realizes this man might be trying to snipe people watching him. At that moment he recieves a phone call saying that the suspicious man was Gazich and he was a sniper expert. Rapp backs away from the window and goes over to the apartment building. Then the scene switches to Gazich. Gazich is in his apartment office which is actually the same building as the one that the man came out of earlier (money exchange guy). The guy who exchanged the money was Andreas, Gazich's good friend. Then back to Rapp. Rapp calls for backup but they can't get there soon enough so Rapp decides to go solo. He enters the apartment and goes up, passing many suspicous people. At a door, Rapp sees someone. He thinks it might be a Russian but it is actually Andreas and he threatens him and that is the end of the chapter. I now understand why the point of view keeps switching and I think that it is a very good thing to do and it makes this story a lot more exciting. The action in this book is amazing and the suspense is KILLER. The way everything fits in like a puzzle is very nice as well. Overall, I'm starting to really like this book. That concludes Act of Treason Blog Part 3.
