    Bret - great to see another Hiassen fan. My personal fav is SKINTIGHT - saw him at a local radio show ... and he autographed my Skintight books with the phrase "Chemo Lives." Had to share with another fan.

    Early Endorsements for “A Circle of Souls”

    Linda Fairstein, NYT Bestselling Author: "A fascinating debut - this novel takes the reader to the darkest places in the human soul, from a writer with the authenticity to lead us there. A stunning thriller and an important read."

    Judge Judy Sheindlin, star of the Judge Judy Show: "The seminal work of this fine author kept me glued to my chair until the adventure was over and the mystery solved. A great read!"

    Book Synopsis:

    The sleepy town of Newbury, Connecticut, is shocked when a little girl is found brutally murdered. The town s top detective, perplexed by a complete lack of leads, calls in FBI agent Leia Bines, an expert in cases involving children.

    Meanwhile, Dr. Peter Gram, a psychiatrist at Newbury s hospital, searches desperately for the cause of seven-year-old Naya Hastings devastating nightmares. Afraid that she might hurt herself in the midst of a torturous episode, Naya s parents have turned to the bright young doctor as their only hope.

    The situations confronting Leia and Peter converge when Naya begins drawing chilling images of murder after being bombarded by the disturbing images in her dreams. Amazingly, her sketches are the only clues to the crime that has panicked Newbury residents. Against her better judgment, Leia explores the clues in Naya s crude drawings, only to set off an alarming chain of events.
    In this stunning psychological thriller, innocence gives way to evil, and trust lies forgotten in a web of deceit, fear, and murder.

    Hi Bret,
    I haven't seen you before today on Crime Space, but from the number of friends you have here, I guess I'm a bit late with a welcome, but welcome to Crime Space anyway. I'm a retired Forensic Crime Scene Investigator and have written and had published a crime fiction book about some of the cases I have investigated but with a special twist or two. Do you think you might have time to read the E-Book form of my book and render your opinion of it? The E-Book form of the book is only 135 pages long. I'm guessing you're a bus man, but if you could, I'd love it if you would give it a read. My regular email is: retiredlee@yahoo.com
    Thanks for your time and again a belated welcome to Crime Space.
    Lee
