An extraordinary thriller...a tense, scintillating read that is also human and ultimately satisfying as the book hurtles toward its unexpected but well-earned conclusion.

.Gailey has delivered one of my favorite characters in recent memory...tragic, flawed, beaten down, but tough enough and resilient enough to survive. A non-stop burner of a novel.
