WINNER IS LAURA FROM PA
I tried to imagine every person ever affected by the horror of terrorism sitting down and writing a letter to the suspected perpetrators. There would be thousands upon thousands and they would probably all contain one common lament...why?
This is the story of a humble English housewife whose husband and son are killed by a suicide bomber in a sports stadium. The effect on London is devastating; the effect on her is final.
With an air of disbelief, she succumbs to the madness around her, the paranoia and aggression of the citizens becomes the new reality. She wanders into other men’s arms, sees her dead son in every little boy that passes by, until eventually she sees him when there is no one there.
A portrait of madness, skillfully presented, that helped me understand what it takes to scare people to death. It takes each other, out of control.
I am glad I read this haunting book, as I feel a little more aware, although deeply saddened by the message.
One copy available for giveaway.

Ahhh, at last I have found a book blogger who reads the kind of books I enjoy -- so many seem to be horror or pink covers. I am thankful. Someday I will ask you to review my novel, which I'm preparing for publication. That blog is: www.makingbook.wordpress.com
The actual book is also on line at
