Enjoyable, fast paced read, detailing the search for Amanda who has a special gift, and her mother.[return][return]Thankfully, the reasons for the gift aren't gone into great depth, which allows the book to be kept on the right side of "decent thriller"
I have liked nearly all of Kalvan's books and this one was no exception. It's a great read. Fast and furious and interesting. Lonnie Blake is a down and out musician who meets a prostitute and nothing is what it seems. It's a page turner for sure.
I had not read a thriller/page-turner in a long time . I kind of enjoyed this one; but i would quickly get tire of this type of novel if that is all i read
I read this a long time ago, but do remember that it was an interesting story...the title really wouldn't make you interested, but it does have a good storyline.

I can't remember the entire story, but I know the ending was pretty good.

Give it a try....murder, mystery.
