This is Martin Cruz Smith’s first mystery. I found it very enjoyable. The main character Roman Gray is Gypsy or Rom. If Smith had continued in this series the character would have been fleshed out and developed more over time. As it is we just get a hint of what we are going to miss out on. Smith includes some background of Romany development which does indeed go all the way back to the Egyptian culture, with ties to Indian history as well. This adds to the mystery of Roman gray himself.
