About the author
Lisa von Biela
16 books45 followersLisa started writing dark fiction just after the turn of the century. Her very first short story appeared in Greg F. Gifune’s small press ’zine The Edge in 2002. After working in Information Technology for 25 years, Lisa dropped out of everything—including writing—to attend the University of Minnesota Law School. She graduated magna cum laude in 2009, relocated to Washington State, and began her second career as a legal aid attorney helping homeowners during the Great Recession/first foreclosure crisis. Retired now, she spends her time writing, painting, scratch baking, and honing her photographic skills.
Lisa’s novel-length works are best described as near-future dystopian thrillers that explore the dark side of a particular technology or development. Targets of her fiction include: implantable brain chips (THE GENESIS CODE), human cloning (THE JANUS LEGACY), manufactured pathogens (BLOCKBUSTER), food chain mutations (BROKEN CHAIN), for-profit prison systems (DOWN THE BRINK), pathogenic cell phone technology (INCIDENTAL FINDINGS), and climate change (SCORCHED EARTH). On the other hand, her novella-length works take a different tack. They range from a straight present-time thriller, no dystopia (MOON OVER RUIN) to downright supernatural (ASH AND BONE, SKINSHIFT).

For a book that is only 122 pages long it left me wanting more. What did he do in his past? While a full story there are still questions that I have.
I received this book free through the Goodreads giveaway in exchange for a review.

This was a very good thriller. It started slow, in order to let the reader get to the main character, Peter, and discover what he has lost.
the story quickly picks up steam though, and doesn't let up until the story's conclusion.
I would say more, but I don't want to give anything away.
