Remarkably written. Exquisitely captures the stark reality of power and fear driven hate that is still very much alive. Brings to light the deep emotion of an individual who is going through such events. Fast paced page turner that will keep you on edge trying to put the whole puzzle together. You will not want to put this book down. ( )
