"The story, the characters, the action, will keep you mesmerized, tantalized, and wrapped in a blanket of action and some of the best writing in the mystery genre. Highly Recommended."

“Fear was a wonderful propellant, and such a strong exponent of survival, even at the cost of others. Civility, it seemed, was the first to perish in a disaster.”

“Eddie!” Miriam shouted. “Stop it. I’m trying to do my job, here. I’m asking for your help.”
Eddie stared at her. She was almost pleading. Most gaffers didn’t want to hear your opinion outside of the crime scene. To them you were a necessary evil, an added extra; you were the heartburn after eating onions, and your opinions were never sought; your opinions were discouraged, drowned in Pepto Bismal.”
