Book Reviews
Chicago PI Liam Taggart and his fiancee, lawyer Catherine Lockhart, investigate an act of embezzlement complicated by links to a child kidnapping and terrorist activity in Hebron, Israel.... Balson succeeds in illuminating the personal side of the Middle Eastern conflict through his deeply human, psychologically credible characters.
Publishers Weekly
A Chicago lawyer resorts to embezzlement and negotiation with terrorists after his daughter is kidnapped.... After wading through lengthy chunks of superfluous background exposition, including trial and deposition transcripts, readers may not care how the puzzle is ultimately resolved. Complex where it should be simple and vice versa.
