Review

This is a thriller with a small supernatural element of Danny’s dream. Excellent writing, excellent characters, unexpected twists, this has everything you want, except maybe a 600 page length! But it is the perfect length. In the 70s it would have been called a novel at about 150 pages. Today we call it a novella. Recommended.
