Class/Genre: Mystery
Five Star, Dec 2002, $25.95, 222 pp.
This anthology runs the gamut between taut thriller and several mystery sub-genres to include Native American, psychological suspense, and the entertainment industry entries, etc. The eight fictional accounts are cleverly conceived and filled with surprising twists and non-stop action whether they occur in a modern day setting or the Civil War. Though this octet has appeared previously in other publications spread over fifteen years, the stories have never been in one handy book before. The key to the gratification of fans resides with the delightful lead characters typically confronting overwhelming situations often brought on by their actions or attitudes. Fans who relish a buffet of powerful tales that never slows down until the end of each entry will want to read this collection and Doug Allyn’s other books like ALL CREATURES DARK AND DANGEROUS, and BLACK WATER.
