Reviews . . .

The authors have presented an excellent example of true police work. Through interviews, setting up tip lines, forensic analysis, evidence collection, and just plain hard work, they are finally able to focus in on the killer. This book is the first in The McAllister Files and inspired by true crime stories. The book’s authentic feel must come not only from the talent of Patricia Rushford, who is the author of 40+ books, but it also from Harrison James (pen name) who has extensive experience in police work. I was really glad to learn that there will be more books in the series as I was truly sad to come to the end of this one. I wanted to know what Mac and Kevin were going to be investigating tomorrow morning AND I wanted to be there with them. Since others books are to follow in the series, I know I will have that opportunity – just not as soon as I would like. Stay buckled for the ride as Mac McAllister sifts through an overabundance of Secrets, Lies & Alibis in the world of deceit. Real life couldn't be more authentic than this new fiction.
