“Caleb followed him, then stopped. It was a place of deep shadows and hidden corners – he wouldn’t be able to understand a word Sniffy said; wouldn’t know if someone was creeping up behind him, ready to slip a knife between his ribs.”
Second in the Caleb Zelic series and Caleb is still no better at telling people he’s deaf. He’s also still chasing bad guys back home in Resurrection Bay, although that’s not home to him anymore. His younger brother, Anton, had gone badly off the rails some years ...more
