Product Review
"Warsh manages to pull off the combination of oppressed and oppressors, while tying in losses of love and life." -- Candace Fertile, the Edmonton Journal

Product Description
This fast-paced mystery explores decades-old deceptions and plots with their roots in the Nazi death camps of Poland. Dr. Rebecca Temple becomes the reluctant detective when her patient, Goldie Kochinsky (whom she has diagnosed as paranoid), is violently murdered. Like recent books by Faye Kellerman (Stalker) and Rochelle Krich (Blood Money), this one has a strong, intelligent female protagonist, lots of suspense and action, and Jewish interest.

Reader Reviews
Dr. Rebecca Temple, family practice physician in Toronto, has a favorite patient. Her name is Goldie Kochinsky. Goldie fled Nazi Germany for Argentina before her family perished in the Holocaust. The only survivor is her sister Chana who moved to Toronto. After suffering torture in Buenos Aries, Goldie escaped to her sister in Toronto. Goldie now claims she is in great danger as someone is following her. Before Rebecca can discover the truth, Goldie is brutally murdered. The police conclude suicide so it is up to Rebecca to uncover Goldie's killer. Unfortunately, as she delves deeper into the crime, she discovers that her own life is at stake. Sylvia Warsh has written a very well thought out debut novel. Characters are rendered with much empathy. The plot moves briskly along to the somewhat surprising yet satisfactory conclusion. The novel is infused with intelligence and the length easily holds the compelling story. A very well written debut and recommended with no reservations.
