Immersed in a thousand years of history and learning, Evan discovers that Barrett’s woes stem from asking the wrong questions of the wrong people – questions about his own family.

Another excellent story in the Evan Buckley series written by a master wordsmith. Excellent plot with lots of twists and turns that surprised me with each page turn. 20 years of family strife and revenge make this an interesting read. Don’t miss it. This is the type of story that will probably in some ways haunt you forever. I know, it will me.

Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great crime thriller movie, or better yet a mini TV series. A very easy rating of 5 stars.

One of the best I’ve read in a while. Plenty to keep any reader totally engrossed. The twist at the end surprised the heck out of me.

Compelling. Fast-paced story that leaves unanswered questions. There is violence but no drag-you-down drama. Intriguing storyline with plenty of twists and gallows humor. Believable characters with distinct personalities. Realistic procedures, actions and reactions. Classic quote and entertaining dialogue.

Wow. I have just found a new author to love and follow. I love the honest grittiness of this new character, his flaws, his heart and his determination. James Harper seems to know the human condition very well and explores it in his writing. With gripping plots and a few helpers this books comes to a very satisfying ending. I recommend it. Soooo good.

BAD CALL – A PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER
Ralph da Silva has screwed up. Big time.
He’s had four Tequilas too many for lunch and now he thinks he might have killed somebody — somebody important. Somebody with some very unpleasant friends. The question is, can he get himself out of the country before they strap him to a chair and get the electrodes out . . .
One thing is certain — he can’t afford to make another bad call.
“I can safely say “Bad Call” provides more suspense and perverse enjoyment in 70 pages than most novels five times that long.”
