Reviews

Who knew the theft of rare old books could be so profitable, so dangerous, so worthy of taking its place as the subject of a modern-day mystery? Author Sheldon Russell, that's who. He's taken the seeds of an actual incident and grown it into an enthralling novel. Definitely a book to add to my keeper list. -C.K. Crigger, Spur Award-winning author
