Interesting premise, and well written, but definitely not one of my favorite Morrell novels, which in no way means it wasn't good. It was an enjoyable, suspenseful read, that was thoroughly infused with the action I've come to expect from a Morrell novel. (

Not bad, but I preferred the Fraternity of the Stone/Brotherhood of the Rose/League of Night and Fog series. (

Petey, Brad's 9 year old brother, disappeared 20 years ago on his way home from a ball game. Now it seems Petey has returned. Brad had always blamed himself for his brothers kidnapping and now would do anything to make up for it, but the price he will have to pay is more than he ever could imagine. I really liked this book. It's the first time I have read this author. The story kept the reader so involved. You will keep changing your mind about the outcome right up to the last page. (

Fantastic story. Morrell has a real knack for conflict and suspense.This was an intense page turner. Well written. (

Brad's brother Petey was kidnapped when they were kids because of Brad's actions .Years later a stranger comes to Brad claiming to be his long lost brother.But Petey has been through some terrible things in his life and blames Brad for them.And so the thrill ride begins.

This was an edge of your seat thriller. Yes I did figure some things out before the main character did but it still made me sit on the edge of my seat waiting for Brad to figure out the mystery. (
