<p> "The fourth entry in the Mapstone series is as engaging as its predecessors. Talton weaves a couple of primary plot threads with parallel personal narratives, and the resulting synergy produces a more suspenseful tale and a satisfyingly multidimensional protagonist. Make this your Arizona series of choice."    --Wes Lukowsky, Booklist   "Talton crisply evokes Phoenix's New West ambience and keeps readers guessing with unexpected plot twists."  -- Publisher's Weekly
