Review

 

Amanda Thompson author of Dead Sea

Wow! I am blown away by this book! The author manages to take you right into the heart of evil. This book is intense, descriptive and riveting from page one. I could not manage to put it down. This author can be rated on par with Stephen King and I cannot wait for his following novel to be released! Well done!

 

Kirkus Review

A detective novel set in New Orleans oozes mystery, Voodoo, and evil.  Center transports readers to the murky, humid bayous of New Orleans in the mid-20th century.  The great strength of Center’s action-packed thriller is its vivid depiction of New Orleans, which has a beating heart just like the other characters.  An intriguing thriller with plenty of action.
