ANGST-RIDDLED TRIUMPH OF ROMANTIC SUSPENSE !
Heather Graham
American Drifter , a romantic thriller pairing the unlikely duo of megabestselling author Heather Graham with actor Chad Michael Murray , reminds me of classics ranging from Hitchcock ’ s Vertigo to Brian DePalma ’ s Obsession . Its hero , River Roulet , is an American war vet seeking relief from the PTSD symptoms that have plagued him with memories he can ’ t shake . Desperate for an answer , he flees to Brazil , the personal Xanadu he ’ s always dreamed of visiting , in the hope that dream can trump reality . Unfortunately , his efforts run him afoul of a notorious drug lord and gangster who takes offense at River ’ s running off with his girlfriend

Natal . The couple ’ s attempted escape already among us who are more takes them deep into the heart of the than they appear to be ? rainforest where a shattering twist lurks Throughout the action , the author amid the foliage . This wondrously effective debut from Murray and departure for Graham is as steamy and lavish as its Brazilian settings . The best book of its kind since Robert Stone ’ s Dog Soldiers and a stunning , angstriddled triumph of romantic suspense .

an unexpected afterlife
PURE JOY AND VERY SATISFYING !
Complex , interesting characters in a most unusual situation . Moshe Karlin wakes up lying on the dirt in a cemetery , naked and alone , with no recollection of how he came to be there . Before long he learns the alarming truth : he died two years before . This novel grabbed my attention from the get-go with all its possibilities , and it was a great read . In addition to being highly creative in his premise , Sofer gives us humor and
Dan Sofer adventure as well as raising a number of questions . Among them : Would it really be so great to come back from the dead ? Are there people
brings modern-day Israel to life for those of us who have never been there , as well as providing interesting details about Jewish tradition , Judaism ’ s belief in the Resurrection of the Dead , and its anticipation of the End of Days . Moshe ’ s story –– at least for the moment –– was resolved well enough , and I hope that future books will tell us more about the fates of his fellow resurrectees . As one who enjoys novels that teach me something , as well as being wellwritten , edited , and proofread , I found this book to be pure joy and very satisfying entertainment . reviews
