Just finished this one and loved it. Keeping all the players straight was a bit of a chore as there were many of them, but the book had plenty of action and mystery. Interesting aside:
Cheat Mountain was originally named
Breastworks, which is a reference to the trenches used by Civil War soldiers. They were deep enough so that from a standing position they came up to a man's chest, hence the name. The author's wife told me he changed the title because people doing an internet search on the word "breastworks" were getting results that were not at all what they desired.
