Format:Paperback
This book introduces Detective Woo, a twentyish Chinese American detective and Dr. Frank, a fortyish psychiatrist in a true to life police milieu which serves as the crossroads to characters of varied ethnic origins and social classes. Leslie Glass knows how to tell a suspense story a la Silence of the Lambs. But the books deapth comes from the way Glass shows the gradual emergence of trust in the detective hero. She learns how to work with men without working under them. And of course love conquers all. Excellent read. Why this is not a movie yet I can't imagine.

Glass does a great job in getting the reader into the story and creates an interesting plot and intricate characters. Nevertheless, towards the end the action is to rushed and events unfold without a clear connection. It seems to me as if the author had to comply with a deadline and could not finish the book in the way it deserved. This series will get another chance from me, and hopefully the experience will be better next time!

This is the first book I have read by Leslie Glass and was pleasantly surprised. My husband also read the book and liked it very much.
The plot is believable, as are the characters. The book moves along at a quick pace and I liked how the author went back and forth among the characters. I'm looking forward to reading Leslie's other books. The vilain was quite creepy without being too gory.
