“Your heart will go out to Crystal Moore, who must not only combat attacks on her only living relative, but must figure out who her enemies are.  And, at the heart of her struggle, there is the lure of a ton of gold. Callan draws genuine, sympathetic characters that pull you in.”  Jory Sherman, author of more than three hundred books.
