This book gives new meaning to the phrase 'action-packed'! It lets up just enough for you to catch your breath before a new plot twist sends the story racing on again.
What I really loved is that there is still plenty of character development. Stillwater is fully developed and the other main character, Church, is also three dimensional. I really liked her son's sidestory and I can see him becoming his own series when he gets a little older.
Excellent book and I'll definitely be looking up more of Mark Terry's works.

Started this the same day I finished the previous book in this series, and finished within 24 hours. Stillwater's character is very well developed, and is highly intriguing. This book delivered on the expectations of action and suspense left by The Devil's Pitchfork, and captures the reader's attention within the first chapter. I look forward to the next books in the series - no matter the price I'm confident they won't let me down!

A good book lot of action....second book in series I read the first and enjoyed it. Already bought the third book will read soon. Found this author (mark terry) in a article about up and coming thriller authors. Books are dirt cheap on the nook, i paid 2.99 for the first 2 and 1.99 for the third. Fourth novel in series just came out will be getting that one.
