Again Gary Black's writing had me in the very first paragraph....I could not put it down....read half of the book in one night...but only because I wanted to savor it....I did NOT want it to end. Hope there is a sequel!

Eye opener exposing elder abuse
Deception slowly creeps into this story of an elderly person’s abuse, neglect and exploitation. The evil that lingers in the shadows is carefully and emotionally brought to light as a shocking unbelievable progression of events that lead to an elderly mans destruction. Laszlo is lured away from his loving family into a snare devised by predators driven by soulless greed. As the layers of suspense build, it becomes harder to put the book down. Could not wait to see what would happen next in this revealing drama of elder abuse. Ending alludes to a possible second book.
