"Lee Vance has written a body slam to the mat of a debut thriller. Each page is crammed with well-developed characters real enough to read out and hold. The plot builds to a pitch loud enough to shatter glass. And the dialogue is as true as any seen since the golden days of Frederick Forsyth. There's nothing better than a cool drink and a hot read to cut the burn off the hottest of days -- and this book is as hot as a high noon sun."
- Lorenzo Carcaterra, author of "Sleepers "and "Chasers"
