Sometimes, you can judge a book it's cover. This cover is full of intrigue -- a rare combination of what promises to be a taut legal thriller with what is clearly the supernatural as well. The DNA strand also intrigues, and the information about the pedigree of the first book in the series is useful to know and inspires confidence that this book will be of high quality. Still, what inspires even more confidence is clicking on the preview of the book and reading, from the jump, that the writing is strong and direct, and pulls the reader in with... intrigue and imagination. Also liked that the author bio says he is a media communications expert, which gives confidence that the legal scenes (courthouse or otherwise) will be on point.
