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 Greymalkin,
I loved The Straw Men it was the first Michael Marshall book I read. Have you read The Lonely Dead and Blood of Angels as well? Thanks for the reminder just blew the dust off all three books and plan to read them all again soon. Happy Scribing to you : )

Hi,
never saw your response to my bullish bees and bearish bees, very cute.
yeah, you keep the ducats under the mattress.
your secret is safe with me!

I didn't want to finish the book because I knew the author had committed suicide, and there would never be another.....

Hi Greymalkin, thanks for accepting my friendship request. I was in the Army, thanks for asking. I'm a comic book lover myself. I haven't been keeping up like I used to. Well, good talking with you, hope to speak with you more in the near future.

We just have to have that goal and go for it!
Thanks so much for your offer with help for research. so sweet of you!
I just don't have my finger on the beat that is New York anymore or even America! been here too long.
so I set the thing in the 1950's.
it's a time that though I was a child, I can still remember how I felt about things.
I grew up in Washington Heights where my story is set.
I remember the Michael Farmer killing and mention it in my work. that happened in '57.
we moved to 19th street and 2nd, when I was still in high school btw.
you're so lucky to have the magnificent Fifth Ave. Public library on your doorstep.
best and thanks so much!
I might take you up on that!
and it works both ways! if you ever decide to write about the U.K. I know a swell Police Officer who works in West Yorkshire, he's writing screenplays for t.v. (trying to sell them but it looks hopeful)
