Date: 07 7, 2013
If asked about his sex life, Private Investigator Alton Rhode would never say he had none.  But he might say he had nun.  At least, before the fair Veronica Frost took holy orders.  The discovery that an old flame who had scorched his heart 20 years earlier should wind up murdered and then plague his dreams for justice is just the beginning of a dark mystery, leavened with humor and enlivened with plot twists and observations on our shared existence that will have you rereading the prose just to commit Rhode's bon mots to memory so you can palm them off as your own.  This is a keeper.  DeMaria just keeps getting better and better.Robert E. Huber, former chief speechwriter to Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani
