“Mallory has been one of my favorite series characters since I first encountered her in Mallory's Oracle many years ago. It is hard to feel sympathy for her because she doesn't need any, but this story of a damaged woman trying to help a damaged child is very moving. The crimes are solved in Mallory's unique outside-the-box method, and, as always, justice is all that matters to her. I look forward to handselling this book and introducing more readers to Mallory.”
