Walters is one of my favorite authors and many of her books rank close to the masterly novels of Ruth Rendell writing as Barbara Vine. This one is about a female journalist whose encounter in Baghdad with a mercenary has her tight-lipped and fleeing for home, where she tries to keep her hiding place secret. As is usual with Walters, the plot is complex, the characters deep, the action well paced, and the psychological horror depicted fully. Don’t start this book when you have anything scheduled or too late at night—it is VERY hard to put down once you begin it!
