Terry Roberts
"Terry Roberts has a knack for exploring the forgotten corners of American history-and then shining a light on the moral ambiguities he finds there. And he knows how to tell a story. This one has all the right ingredients: fascinating setting, winning characters, mystery, real suspense, and romance. I thoroughly enjoyed it."
