Finally a book that's pulsating with action. The Chase by Richard Unekis begins with a robbery at a departmental store in a small town America, followed by a high speed chase through a maze around the corn fields near by to Chicago. The police superintendent is a maths addict so he uses game theory and probability to close in on the robbers. Almost succeeds on two occasions when police cars try to intercept the fleeing robbers in a Chevrolet. The car driver in the robber car is a highly skilled driver, the police is using maths, there are corn fields around in a maze so the following police cars are in a blind and the robbbers are listening into the police radios. Makes for an interesting read. Goodreads 5/5
