I liked this book.  It’s a thriller with a great, tough, female protagonist and a very clever villian.  A few twists and turns keep the story cooking as well as suspense.  It’s an older book, 1999, and typewriters are mentioned.  Picked it up at a used bookstore in the Dominican Republic.  Basically, a brilliant guy fixes the huge U.S. lottery, giving some to a ticket buyers he selects–but with strict rules.  If you don’t follow them you die.  Worth a read because it’s a good thick book and no filler to stretch things out.  I’m hoping the next book I write has all the ingredients as this one does.
