I love the cover and title. Cool.
A Thin line
A Thin line David Boiani
What if a man lost his moral compass between right and wrong, good and evil, mental stability and insanity?
John Corbin has been investigating, catching, and convicting murderers, rapists, and pedophiles for twenty years as a Seattle detective. But lately, someone has been beating him to the punch and eliminating these vile criminals before he can apprehend them. John is learning that there is a thin line between innocent or guilty, good or evil, alive or dead.
By definition, a thin line is a very narrow division between two alternatives. Some being exact opposites, while others are separated by the narrowest of threads. This novel follows this definition to the letter. In life, many situations aren't just black or white. There is usually a modicum of grey to fill in the space. Who is ri

Dougherty employs her writing skill to inform much about Pasha, his life, and his character throughout these opening lines. A native from Georgia, we learn he cannot return home for fear of being ousted by his mother as a traitor to the Soviet Union. He is to rendezvous at a safe house run by Miss Bick. She was once his mistress. Pasha, as it turns out, has many mistresses. When convalescing from chest pains brought on by nothing more sinister than indigestion, he has a fling with Aprilia his nurse. On this journey, he is accompanied by Brandy France, a diplomat's wife, and she is not shy of passionate interludes, regardless of the circumstances. Dougherty's style is crisp and uncluttered with a natural flow. At the time of this review, Welcome to the Hotel Yalta is offered as a free download on Amazon.

Nothing like a thriller when the plan falls apart and the heroes have to wing it! Makes it all the harder for the reader to guess what is going to happen...
Fast and enjoyable.
beautiful cover :)
I felt like I was on Mars, the real Mars, and felt the desperation that isolated settlers will experience. Great read
Big screen material! This talented author brings the reader into a new world where adventure awaits at every turn. The descriptions are well though out, the characters pop off of the page. Don't miss this one!
Monticelli's original Italian has been translated to English for her Red Desert series, giving a charming flavor to the prose. Her characters are 3d, and her hard sci-fi setting is researched impeccably. Novella-length book one, "Point of no return," serves as an introduction, constructing the hooks that power future volumes and ramping up the tension and mystery.
