Deaver presents three short stories filled with characters known to Deaver readers.The first story presents a police officer who is an expert on body language confronting a suspect whose body language reveals nothing, and who has planted a bomb that will kill at least 200 people in a couple of hours unless he can somehow be tricked into disclosing its location.The second story is based on a true life crime in Manhattan where a mother/son team of grifters murdered a wealthy elderly woman who rented them part of a building she lived in.The third story presents a variety of suspects for a murder that the local sheriff needs to solve.The stories are well written and interesting, and contain Deaver's well known misdirections and surprise endings. I enjoyed reading these.
