Bondage is a high-octane, impeccably written gem of a (debut!) noir/crime novel. A riveting, highly recommended read. Were there any justice, it would be on the shelves of every major bookstore. A supreme achievement from Shane Joaquin Jimenez!

An unputdownable true crime “memoir” from versatile author E.C. Hanson. This is an important book, giving exposure to an unsolved murder in the hopes that it will one day be solved. Noble and compelling - a highly recommended read!
