Review

First of all, that blurb completely drew me in. I was pleasantly surprised by the way Harvey Havel was able to keep me on my toes. 

I liked trying to understand Droogan and his motives throughout the novel. 

 I'll have to admit, I was surprised in a couple of places throughout the novel. A Crime / Mystery / Fiction Novel.

Harvey Havel is a freelance writer and novelist. His first novel, Noble McCloud, A Novel, was published in November of 1999. His second novel, The Imam, A Novel,was published in 2000. 

In 2006, Havel published his third novel, Freedom of Association.  He has just published his eighth novel, Charlie Zero’s Last-Ditch Attempt, and his ninth, The Orphan of Mecca, which has just been released.  His new novel, The Thruway Killers is his latest work.
