Ray Atkinson's self-proclaimed "airplane novel" is a solid mystery. The author writes fast-moving chapters that take the reader along multi-state road trips and flying to the Ukraine and back. The numerous characters introduced in the novel are well-crafted and keep the plot moving forward at it's frantic pace.

Ray Atkinson has degrees in business and law. He is a musician who spent nearly two decades playing the southern Ohio nightclub circuit with rock bands. Now living in Kentucky, Ray enjoys a quiet lifestyle that includes camping, reading, writing, traveling, and attending outdoor festivals.

This is Atkinson's first published novel. The amount of detail, action and surprise within this short work keeps the reader guessing to the end, and even that is surprising. It is a fast-paced, creative, good read. Reviewer: Lisa Haselton, Allbooks Reviews.
