Publisher Description

For ex-cop Jack Whalen, it all begins with a visit from a childhood friend, a lawyer who needs Jack's help. The family of a noted scientist has been senselessly, brutally murdered, and the scientist is nowhere to be found. But Jack has more pressing concerns. The past that drove him from the L.A.P.D. continues to haunt him. And his wife has disappeared during a routine business trip to Seattle. She never checked into her hotel. She isn't answering her cell phone. She is gone. A third missing person, a little girl in Oregon, is found miles away. But it soon becomes obvious that she is not an innocent victim and far from defenseless.

Something very strange is happening, a perplexing series of troubling events that's leading Jack Whalen into the shadows. And the secrets buried there are unlike anything anyone could possibly have imagined.

"This book is teaming with ideas. Like a few recent thrillers, it doesn't try too hard to give you all the answers or explain away things that aren't really important to the story. It is what it is, it happens, deal with it. You only ever know what the lead character knows helping add to the tension as the character crashes wildly from one discovery to the next, in a permemnt state of confusion.There are a few flaws - some things that we really should have had explained are missing - and if i was the lead character i don't think i'd be satisfied with the answers i had. However the writing is fast and tight and the action scenes detailed and pacey.This is a well written book, and an intelligent book. All too often the answers are spelled out across the page - this book though uses its secrecy to its advantage. A little more polish towards the end and this would have been excellent."

    " Decided this was not worth finishing. If it was meant to be supernatural/occult, there wasn't enough of that. If NOT, there was too much of that. I could not buy the entire subplot involving the child Mackenzie. At a certain point, I found that I just didn't care and there were too many good books in the world to waste time on this one. "

    " Not bad but I thought this story couldn't make it's mind up whether it was a whodunnit or sci fi based a bit all over the place at times "

    " This should have been better, but it just didn't draw me in. It had the characteristic MMS wit, leaving me giggling helplessly many times in the first half of the book, but for some reason I kept finding other things to do. It's a long way ahead of the two other books that I have partly read right now, but that really isn't saying a lot. "

    " An excellent thriller, with a very creepy undertone and some brilliant characters. I was impressed with the way Marshall constructed the novel in first and third person. Highly recommended. "

    " Very good. Just took me to long to read because of letting life get in the way. I would of probably enjoyed it more if I read it faster. "

    " I enjoy Marshall's books but this wasn't his best. It is a compelling mystery that will leave you turning the pages to the final denouement which is unexpected to say the least. "

    " Has some wonderful lines and good writing on places, moods and relationships. Good action sequences and some chills but I just didn't get the plot on this one. The 'Straw Men' Trilogy was better for me. "

    " I think I would have liked this book a lot more if I had gotten an explanation of what was going on earlier than 3/4 of the way through the book. Interesting concept for the book (I won't give anything away), but I would have liked a little more upfront exposition. "

    " Michael Marshall never fails to deliver a book that you really have to think about and wonder, "Hmmmmm, could this really be happening? Yes? No, too strange. But maybe." Along the same lines as The Straw Men trilogy but not quite as psychological. Very good read,...may keep you up at night! "
