Review: Wonderful introduction to both of De Maria's lead characters
Rating: 4 out of 5

Two distinctly different private detectives find themselves involved in cases that challenge them professionally and personally. While Scarne and Rhode traffic in different worlds, these two stories share a link - modern science gone mad. Like Michael Crichton in State of Fear, De Maria weaves fascinating factoids into the text that add layers of complexity rather than educate with a ruler across the knuckles. Information, humor, and plot surprises glide the reader through both thrillers until their satisfying, suspenseful conclusions. Highly recommended for fans of whodunits that leave behind the uneasy question, "Could that really happen?"
