THE GLASS RAINBOW is about not only evil but friendship, love of family, justice, and doing the right thing.
Seven young women and girl's bodies had been found raped and mutilated in ditches and swamps since 2005. The storyline takes the reader on a merciless, lump-in-the-throat ride throughout Louisiana's past and present....that keeps the reader in a constant state of foreboding. The kicker is that two recently murdered girls don't seem to fit the killer's pattern. This is a wonderful thriller! Buy it! Other good ones are THE SURGEON and THE APPRENTICE.
