A great story, as Is Silvis' usual gift to us.
Meaty characters, so well developed. As each stuggles with his or her own demons, the main character is thrown into a new role for himself, but one to give him perhaps a better purpose for awhile, though one with many decisions to make that become an internal struggle for what is right or wrong when faced with people who have committed some of the worst inhumanities to fellow human beings. I never feel I am in anything but a meaningful story with characters that have worthwhile struggles and human flaws to deal with. I loved the book, as I love everything by Randall Silvis!

Suspenseful to the very last page.
Brilliant writer and storyteller in league of his own. There is magic in his words that draws the reader into the story.
