From Publishers Weekly
A parent's worst nightmare is realized in Case's expertly written new thriller. During a summer-long, last-ditch attempt to reconnect with his family since separating from his wife, Washington TV reporter Alexander Callahan loses his identical twin six-year-old sons at a Maryland Renaissance fair. After facing the media avalanche outside his house, Alex and police detectives discover mysterious objects placed inside: a carefully crafted origami rabbit, a bowl of water in the closet, seven winged Liberty dimes in a neat stack. Following a "maelstrom of emotion," Alex is eliminated as a suspect and authorities concede a lack of reliable leads. Scouring the Internet, Alex discovers connections between several cases of abducted twins and his own situation, and with relentless determination he continues his investigation, traveling to Daytona Beach, Fla., to interview wary sources and Las Vegas, Nev., to research the horrific deaths of two abducted young showgirls. The kidnapper, it seems, is a malevolent magician dabbling in voodoo practices. Case's pace reaches a fever pitch as Alex chases more leads to New Orleans, where he teams up with a local albino sleuth and ends up on the doorstep of a witchdoctor who insists on a nightmarish rebirthing ritual before he'll break his silence on the killer. Northern and Southern California provide the final backdrops for a harrowing conclusion that will leave readers breathless. A long, winding narrative that's impossible to put down, this is another work of superior suspense from the author of The Genesis Code.

From AudioFile
A macabre thriller winds its tortuous way through the kidnapping of a journalist's twin 6-year-old sons at a medieval theme park. Some may feel that those who habituate such places get what they deserve. Nonetheless, protagonist Alex Callahan is an obsessed single dad who exhausts every clichéd research tool (he's a journalist, after all) to find his sons long after the authorities have given up. Reader Dick Hill controls the tension skillfully, ramping up the stakes as Callahan haunts magicians' circles and finally voodoo men of the bayous in his search for his sons and their bizarre kidnapper. An entertaining listen, well-adapted for the ear, as long as you can suspend disbelief long enough to enjoy the outré goings-on.
