“ One of the best and most engrossing novels I have read in some time — chock full of suspense and great story . . . . When a reader gets to the end of a book and the only regret is that the story has ended — that is a great story indeed !
I look forward eagerly to the next in a long line of Ms . Toliver ’ s novels .”
