"""Sandy Corrigan is a great protagonist with a truly checkered past. She uses it to her advantage when she gets sucked into the world she thought she had left behind. Diamond Cut is a thought-provoking and compelling story of human trafficking. I highly recommend it."" --James O. Born, New York Times best-selling author Praise for T. B. Cavanagh ""An Orlando thriller that reads like a high-speed theme park ride. Cavanagh's writing is tough and lean, with dark humor so sharp it'll make you bleed."" --Brian Freeman, New York Times best-selling author "" . . . entertaining . . . Fans of the classic PI novel will hope to see more of this wonderfully crotchety protagonist."" --Publishers Weekly * ""This...novel by an award-winning writer for children's television has everything: dark humor, great suspense . . . and heart . . . Readers who liked Peter Abraham's Oblivion, about an amnesiac detective, will eat this up."" --Library Journal (Starred Review) ""Cavanagh's ambitious debut has a terrific premise and many appealing touches, including an unbeatable cliffhanger."" --Kirkus Reviews ""With the clarity of Robert B. Parker and the complexity of Michael Connelly, Prodigal Son disturbs and charms at the same time."" --Booklist"
