Finalist, Midwest Book Award for Mystery/Thriller Fiction, Midwest Independent Publishers Association A riveting great read for mystery/suspense fans, author Lev Raphael once again documents his impressive gifts as a storyteller, holding the readers rapt attention from beginning to end with unexpected plot twists and surprise twists.Jack Mason, Midwest Book Review Raphael portrays with frightening power the wrenching experience of victimization by the corporatized, PR-prioritized groves of academia, where both men teach, and by local authorities militarized into SWAT teams practicing police brutality. . . . The compelling core of this unusual novel is Raphaels depiction of the agonizing reality of victims shame, in which someone feels doubly exposed talking about the violation and so says nothing.Booklist Professor Nick Hoffman learns that even tenure cant guarantee real security.Kirkus Reviews
