Everything about Velma Bloom seems like a deliberate defiance of her upper-middle class upbringing. When she is reported missing, Det. Jackson Duran will learn, nothing is as it seems. Thrust onto a trail of buried secrets, CIA experiments, & Russian agents, each must decide what is truly important or risk being shattered. When it comes to thrillers, I am extremely critical. This was superbly done & I look fwd to the next bks in the series.
