The first in the series is a brilliant read. The odd title that the author gives to his novel refers to the human lungs and heart. A teammate at commando school where Stephanie trains tell her that the heart is the drum while breathing is the bass.

She remembers exact words as she shoots an arms dealer in Brazil and as she prepares to a Jewish promoter in New York City. Only when Khalil will be brought to justice will Stephanie be allowed to hunt down the man she is after- the man who planted a bomb on the airplane, killing over people including her parents and siblings. At first she is devastated by the death of her parents such that she changes her name to Lisa and then dives into the world of prostitution and drugs in London Abused by psychopathic pimps and customers, she is quickly losing her health and even lowers her price when the Keith Proctor, the freelance journalist interviews her about the crash.

It was terrorism. But for some reason, the US and British governments have not bothered to arrest him but instead got rid of all the evidence of the crime. Then the journalist is killed. She is imprisoned and finally told to make a choice; leave the bomber alone and shut up or join the agency and campaign against Khalil. So Stephanie joins commando school, graduates and she assumes two fake identities. As Petra she kills, and as Marina, she falls in love with an ordinary chap.

Additionally, it does not story about vengeance, even though justice for her family is all that Stephanie wants at first. Instead, The Rhythm Section is the story of a woman trying to reclaim herself. She has to embark on a journey of rediscovery. She has to rediscover herself through a series of roles and responsibilities she is forced to assume. But whoever she is, she is never herself because life heavily depends on her being someone else. This is how the agency that recruits she trains her, but it is also she is has taught herself to be- being someone until she falls in love with Frank White, but this only undermines her and poses new questions- which of her new identities has fallen in love?

Is it Marina? Or Stephanie? Chameleon can be used in this context to describe a person who changes ideas or character. This is a word that best describes Stephanie Patrick. A few years earlier, she had been living as a professional assassin under the assumed identity of Petra Reuter. But in the intervening years, Stephanie has transformed her life, and she now lives in a peaceful home in Franc.
