A true page-turner
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I took this book with me on vacation, and was dismayed because I couldn't make it last the week. But I had to keep reading; Eidson kept the prose moving and the surprises coming, and because certain events warned me that this was not some stock happily-ever-after Crime Light, I was driven to see how it turned out. This book is intelligently written, hard to second-guess. The violence, both psychological and physical, is scarily realistic, and the characters are well drawn. Eidson deserves a nice, plump best-seller to help raise this one back from the out-of-print graveyard.Susan O'NeillAuthor: Don't Mean Nothing: Short Stories of Viet Nam

This book was fabulous! I couldn't put it down!! I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Eidson at the time that I purchased this book, and he's just as interesting as his writing. Keep up the good work!!!
Suspensively gripping novel

This is the first book I have read by Bill Eidson and I enjoyed it immensely. Once started, it was difficult to put down. The action is fast and the characters are interesting and believable. I look forward to reading Bill's other novels.
