Review

In the middle of the night, Marni Verstak is shaken by a sinister male
voice on the phone, a voice that knows her name, her age, and the color
of her sheets. Most terrifyingly, it knows about her five-year-old son.
Driven only by the desire to protect her son, Marni finds herself
reluctantly drawn into a world of drugs and corruption. She later
realizes that the corruption surrounding her affects all aspects of her
life.

Alex Juniper is the pseudonym of a best-selling Canadian fiction
author. This book, the first in a trilogy, is well written, fast-paced,
and exciting, and will please every murder-mystery fan. I thoroughly
recommend it.
