Quotes

“Lankford deftly weaves supernatural elements into this grittily realistic story, causing the plot to take genuinely surprisingly twists and turns.” Publishers Weekly

“With deliberate precision, Brian Emerson gauges his reading to convey Caulder’s lonely, stark existence. His steady cadence adds to the slow but continual buildup of action and emotion. As events quicken, so does Emerson’s reading pace, with his intonations rising and the tension increasing…He paces this intense thriller for maximum impact, bringing out every surprise.” AudioFile 

“Emerson has a rich-mellifluous voice—comfortable to listen to. The pace is appropriate to the action—slower when the story is systematic and deliberate; faster, more intense when the action heats up.”  Kliatt
