The author sounds very skilled in the Thriller genre. The fallibility of human nature often comes up in books like this, but Dennis D. Wilson appears to orchestrate every twist and turn of the story masterfully through the multiple characters he uses. I'm especially looking forward to the story about Agent Dean Wister.The author has seamlessly woven themes of fallible human nature, loss, friendship, love, hope, human trafficking, and prostitute. The message that life should go on and experienced to the fullest comes across loud and clear. In addition to the excellent job the author did in establishing a sense of place and characters, I also really liked the way he incorporated into the narrative the political issue, though I am not into politics. This added a sense of authenticity to the story. The chapters are relatively short and it keeps the action going. The plot has continuous twists in store, but it still manages to reflect the psychological depth of the characters.

Brownie points indeed! And I'm so curious about the name nowgali wrote: While investigating, he finds the time to save an abused dog from a cruel owner and he earned many brownie points for that! The name of the dog most assuredly will put a smile on your face, let me tell you!
What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.
