Fast Paced, Intriguing story

This is one of my favorite books. It is completely absorbing and believable. The book stands out because its a psychological study of this girl and her father. Her father is really hard to figure out and I've read it a few times since and I still think its mysterious. I would highly recommend it if you like mysteries and sort of "on the run" stories.

Please.....this is not a summary.

Does anyone know where i can get a complete biography of Robert Hawks!???? please say!! Email me miller_up@yahoo.com A.S.A.P.!!

It was very well written.

This book was so exciting that I never put it down and then I recommended it to all my friends. Even they said that they liked it, and said they would recommend it to their friends. I don't think Hawks should write a sequel, though, because of the way he put it together. It would ruin the mystery.

It was great...I want a sequal!

this book is a real joy i read it in a hour and i couldent put it down the entire time. i wish there was a sequal because hawks is a wonderful writer and a great story teller!
