Jonathan Stride, a detective lieutenant in Duluth, Minnesota, is featured in this first novel of what, I hope, will be a series.
For this book, Freeman won the 2006 Macavity Award for Best First Novel, was a finalist 2005 Edgar Award for Best First Novel, and a finalist 2006 Anthony Award for Best First Novel. That's why I sought it out. One of the web review sites I love is TheMysteryReader.com and they gave it 4+ stars. That would be my personal rating too. Just an excellent book and very exciting author.

Great mystery from first time novelist Brian Freeman. I would definately read another of his books. Just when I thought I knew "who dun it" he surprised me with a twist!

This book was impressive for a first time novel. It didn't have a dull moment and I can usually figure it out by half way through, not this one. I thought I had it by the last ten pages and I was only half right, big surprise ending. A hard to put down book, can't wait to get his second book.

This guy is a new author and i'll be sure to catch his next one. This book is a murder mystery that keeps you guessing and you think time and again that you have the solution--but you won't until the very end.

"In a moral world...murder is the ultimate crime. In a moral world...the killer pays the ultimate price. But what happens if everyone is IMMORAL?" This book was really good. It is a gripping murder/romance story.

Loved, loved, loved this book! Kept me guessing until the end, which doesn't happen very often at all.

A page-turner and Freeman's first thriller.
