IF YOU LIKE STRONG CHARACTERIZATIONS, GREAT DIALOGUE AND SURPRISES, PULITZER-NOMINEE LAWRENCE DE MARIA'S ALTON RHODE MYSTERIES ARE IN A CLASS BY THEMSELVES." (John Crudele, New York Post)

Sister Veronica was once a vivacious college co-ed. Which brings two Massachusetts homicide detectives to the office of Alton Rhode. For he played an important part in 'Ronnie' Frost's past. Quickly cleared as a suspect, but plagued by long-suppressed memories, the private eye dedicates himself to finding the killer. But there are no suspects, clues or obvious motives. Then, as Rhode travels the country, a pattern emerges.

(Washington Independent Review of Books); "WHILE DE MARIA MAY HAVE BEEN AN AWARD-WINNING FINANCIAL REPORTER, HE'S AN AWFULLY GOOD FICTION WRITER AS WELL." (Naples Daily News)
