It is a very long time since I've read a mystery novel with so stunning an opening, and what is so good about this mystery, is that it fulfills that promise: it is fast moving and filled with new incidents throughout. The geographical and chronological axes are also unusually wide and well-researched: from Mackinaw to Hawaii and from WWII and Finland's history to the present day. Sense of place is wonderfully conveyed, and the contrasts between the physical characteristics and differing life-styles of Mackinac and Oahu are portrayed with a wealth of convincing detail and local color. I loved this novel; it is gripping and compelling from page 1 to page 238. I will certainly read it again."
A good old fashioned murder mystery!

Ronald Lewis has written a wonderful novel with intrigue and mystery. He takes the reader from Mackinaw Island to Hawaii, complete with wonderful descriptions of the locations. You can tell that he has actually traveled to the places he writes about. A fun read!
