Awesome novel. I loved the way this book hooked me from the beginning. So full of action, some suspense and even thrills. I absolutely love Peter with his sense of humor. The characters are very good. I really got caught up with every thing that was going on. I didn't know what would happen next. The story was well written. A definite add to your tbr list. Recommended!!

Since I wrote Double Blind, I think it's pretty darn entertaining. Sexy, violent, funny, with a twist-and-turn plot that involves beautiful women, Mafiosi, Federal agents and attorneys, and New York City. Great book to read while you travel or hit the beach.

[Alice Siempelkamp]

A fast-paced, gripping, can't-put-down read. The hero is a little heroic, a little geeky; the women are strong, mysterious, and beautiful. When they all come together, big things happen. All in all a terrific combination.

This mystery was a perfect holiday read. The opening chapter sucked me in and kept me turning the pages. Once in, the premise was original and the protagonist was likable. Author Geoff Loftus has a good ear for dialog and a good sense of action. I hope to see more from this author.
