5.0 out of 5 stars Another superb Thornburg, 16 April 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: To Die in California (Hardcover)
I read this one before 'Cutter and Bone' and believe me it's almost as good. A superb evocation of one man's absolute refusal to accept 'official' answers and his pushing and pushing until cracks begin to appear. Very good atmosphere and some well handled suspense.

A truly superb novel well worth your attention.
