This adrenaline-fueled ride will keep readers turning the pages."-- Publishers Weekly "There's an emotional intensity here that's new and startling....Petrie creates fully fleshed, likable people only to blow them away in explosions of blood and bone, and the book itself seems to vibrate from the shock.
