“A wily thriller…Murder, mystery, action, and drama make this another winner for a popular author who neatly wraps the plot in very human emotions.”
Houston Chronicle
“Kellerman’s new page-turner is guaranteed to pep up an otherwise tame weekend…She is splendid in plotting a tale that is at once familiar and calculatingly strange.”
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
“Kellerman’s novels sustain a quality that is unusually high for a longtime series…She imbues each [character] with a personality and a private agenda. And she continues to add even more depth to Decker’s homicide team.”
Chicago Tribune
“Breath-stopping…Another compelling story featuring dedicated lawman Decker and his Orthodox Jewish wife, Rina Lazarus.”
The Oklahoman

“Gritty…a page-turner…It’s got everything…and the characterizations are winning.”
