Praise for Burning Distance I entered the world of Burning Distance and I didn't want to leave. The narrative voice unfolds the story both poetically and realistically. --Azar Nafisi, New York Times best-selling author Burning Distance opens with a mystery, glides into a love story, and unfolds into a political thriller . . . Readers will be up way past their bedtimes eagerly turning pages to discover what happens to Lizzy and Adil. A great read! --Susan Isaacs, New York Times best-selling author Burning Distance is a mystery, a complicated, story-driven drama of lives lived amidst the high risk of life and death in international arms trading . . . This is a real page turner which also informs, excites, and moves us. --Susan Richards Shreve, author of More News Tomorrow I was immediately engrossed in the lives of Joanne Leedom-Ackerman's characters and their fascinating and compelling stories. Joanne has the ability to take the big issues of contemporary life and render them in the contexts of love, conscience, and the consequence of choice. --Eric Lax, author of Start to Finish
