The friendship she has with her brother and former best friend give the tale a warmth that the extremely serious mystery needs. The drugs, prostitution, and violence can be harsh, but the players' concern for others keeps the story encouraging. The dialogue is well done, and relatively clean for a book dealing with violence. While the bad guy is known early, the reasons are worth waiting for. ...this is a very interesting book. The dual love stories added to the book and were a perfect platform for changing loyalties. The sequel is set up well, without being flagrant.

The writer doesn't give you a lot of unnecessary information. She makes all the necessary information available in short and sweet words. The characters and traits were right on the mark. For a short book there was a jam pack excitement and thriller.&quot;</strong></em></font><br /><br /><span><span style="font-size:14px;line-height:17px;">~</span></span>Barnes and Noble Review by smd_569<br /><br /><br /><span><span style="font-size:14px;line-height:17px;"></span></span><strong><font size="3">&quot;<em>This was really a fantastic book.
