From Library Journal: "Brothers Adam and Kent Austin have been estranged for years over the events that led to their sister's murder while they were in high school. Each, in his own way and for his own reasons, has chosen to associate with criminals in his adult life. Adam is a bail bondsman; Kent is the local high school football coach who serves as part-time spiritual counselor in a nearby prison. The murder of a teenage girl that mirrors their sister's killing and that seems to implicate them reunites the Austin siblings. As local police and the FBI work to solve the case, the brothers' feelings of family loyalty and need result in a tenuous love-hate relationship that leads to mistrust, misjudgment, and disaster. Koryta's latest thriller powerfully portrays the angst of the dysfunctional family stretched to the breaking point by blame and guilt. The tension and suspense is relieved only by scenes depicting Kent's football team in fierce combat at the state finals. Gut-wrenching at every level."
