Ah, legacy writers. Such an incredible mixed bag--from well done! to "ehhhh...let's not do this again" to "step away from the word processor!" This book falls into the last category, although I enjoyed the original book, especially once Tracy got out of prison. 
 I found this lackluster, with no real excitement until near the end--and even that was lukewarm at best. The changes in Cooper were not explained very well, in my opinion; Elizabeth was fairly flat; and I agree with the reviewer who said the FBI agent was an unnecessary character (not to mention there are some serious inconsistencies involving him, esp at the end. If he's had Tracy under surveillance for months, he should know where she lives, yes? Plus, I am uncertain about the FBI's international jurisdiction--is there such a thing as an international arrest warrant? ) And the stuff about Jean's family? Much of it seemed forced in an effort to make him more real/sympathetic. Plus there's a minimum of the clever heists from the first book, which is what I really picked this up for. 
 All in all, not a good read (and it took me FOREVER to finish!)
