Linda E. Thomas

Advantages: Very interesting topics
Disadvantages: -

...' own professional focus is the integration of theology with anthropology, which combines the God-human relationship with human interrelationships in culture. Thomas states that `one might mistakenly think that black theology is concerned with the God-black human relationship in black culture only' - this is not the case, as the emphasis spreads out beyond the borders of the United States, beyond the boundaries of black culture, and seeks to address all black people everywhere in looking toward God-human relationship.

I have not read any of this Author's previous works although I was aware that the predecessor to this novel, the Deadhouse, was an International best seller. This book fits neatly into the category of crime fiction but the authenticity of how Met Assistant DA Alexandra Cooper handles the crimes in this gripping story is what sets this book apart from many books on a similar theme that I have read.
