"Rarely can one say that a book is both rapturous and relevant, but Russell has done it. We meet the actual architects of the Middle East settlement at the Cairo Conference of 1921 -- T.E. Lawrence, Gertrude Bell, Winston Churchill -- through the eyes of the surprising protagonist, a 40-year-old schoolteacher from Ohio. It is a wonderful story that brings to life a period of history that has remarkable parallels to our own time." --Barbara Tolliver, The Traveler, Bainbridge Island, WA

Published: Penguin Books, 06/01/2008

"This is a contemporary murder mystery set in Ireland with just the right hint of spookiness and great layers of psychological suspense, as a pair of detectives seek to solve the murder of a young girl in an ancient stand of woods. The current murder is foreshadowed by a crime against three young children many years ago that may hold a key to the new mystery." --Sandra Palmer, Wy'east Book Shoppe & Art Gallery, Welches, OR

"Like a modern, urban Crime and Punishment, this brilliant book is an intimate study of the interior lives of everyone touched by a too-quick trigger. You will be haunted by Price's riveting portraits of all involved, from the disillusioned detective to the victim's family, as well as the New York neighborhood they share." --Carla Jimenez, Inkwood Books, Tampa, FL
