Quotes

“A real page-turner, this one. Brilliantly written with a wicked mystery at its heart, this is a cracker from Eric Rickstad.” Steve Cavanagh, internationally bestselling author of The Devil’s Advocate

“The reader will entertain many incorrect theories before arriving at the shocker of a finale…Rickstad has an elaborate, old-fashioned style of narration. He sends us hurtling down one path before yanking the reins and pulling us in another direction. Soon we are in a tale not just of profound misunderstanding but also of dynastic wealth and dysfunction, of how money and power can warp a community.” New York Times

“Eric Rickstad’s I Am Not Who You Think I Am left me spellbound and shattered. It’s a shocking, heartbreaking novel, equal parts tender and vicious.
