Gallagher is back with a belter of a book
I must admit to being a fan of Gallagher's work since Valley of Lights came out. It has been a long time since his last novel, but I think it was well worth the wait.

Certainly there is suspense, as in all of his books, but in this volume, more than some others...

Gallagher is back with a belter of a book, April 18, 2006
This review is from: The Spirit Box (Hardcover)
I must admit to being a fan of Gallagher's work since Valley of Lights came out. It has been a long time since his last novel, but I think it was well worth the wait. Although slimmer than many of his later books, this serves to focus the intense emotions invoked in the reader. Certainly there is suspense, as in all of his books, but in this volume, more than some others there is the panic of being up against the clock.
This book is well worth seeking out for its adrenalin fuelled chills.

I would have never looked at this book in the book store (I read the review in PW and got it from the library.) because the cover--which looks like it might be a spiritual story of a modern day tribe--doesn't give a hint that this might be a thriller at all. Well it's an average thriller at best so your better off getting it at your local library.
