From Booklist
If there's one thing we've learned in nine previous John Cuddy novels, it's that the Boston private eye keeps his promises. When Cuddy stops to help a young woman change a flat, the woman's companion, 10-year-old Eddie, extracts a promise: if Eddie is ever lost, Cuddy will find him. Shortly thereafter, the car is found abandoned and the woman dead, but there's no sign of Eddie. A promise is a promise, and Cuddy takes up the search, which takes him initially to New Hampshire, where he endures a chilling encounter with Eddie's fundamentalist parents and a deadly encounter with a backwoods zealot who makes those Deliverance guys seem downright agreeable. From there, it's down to Florida to the world headquarters of the Church of the Lord Vigilant. Something's wrong at the church compound, and Cuddy is positive Eddie is inside. With the aid of a retired military man, Cuddy does his damndest to keep his promise to a frightened little boy. We should all have such a guardian angel. One of the best entries in a consistently outstanding series. Wes Lukowsky
