Purchase Link

A tangled web of deceit, including rumors, lies and truths are necessary flaws that propelled this tightly woven drama to a place where nothing is as it seems and it’s no wonder this reader got turned around by the manipulation of what the author had in store in this cleverly twisted novel. The past and present collide as the multiple points of views gave way to narrative that had me immersed in the verbiage and caricature of a cat and mouse game where the trap was ready to be sprung. The more I read, the more enthralled I became in this intensifying and riveting story and as the pieces fell into place, the frenetic pacing consumed my reading time until that ending. . .whoa, I did not see that one coming. This book captured the essence of the story, never letting go until all was said and done. A masterful drama illustrating Hank’s best work yet.
