“C. V. Alba is an amazing story teller. This story is inventive and mesmerizing; it keeps the readers’ interest and holds them in throughout the reading of the book. The character development is superb, allowing the reader to see aspects of the characters without telling the reader directly. Moreover, the author creates verbal pictures for the reader, to see the old Victorian house, the area surrounding it, the office building, the art building and other places the author takes you throughout the book. There are surprises throughout and the characters are intertwined in unexpected ways. If you love a good mystery, this book will not disappoint.” -COL Carol Rogers, US Army (RET), author of When DUTY Calls, Raising My Family While Serving My Country
