He also knows that the murderer is also dead and buried. Ruben's older brother is a tough, cold young man, who take after his Gypsy father. When the two boys go to find about the murder and locate their sisters body, they run into a wall of secrecy in the town on the moors.Ruben goes with his brother on this adventure just to keep him from doing anything too crazy but his brother is who he is, a cruel and calculating fighter. This 339 page book is a violent suspense tale... probably the best one I have read for Middle School readers. It is not for the weak-hearted. I will get some more of this author's works. -- Frederick Muller, Librarian Halsted Middle School Library Newton, NJ mullinator52@gmail.com My book reviews are compiled at http://www.mullersreviews.com My book review blog is at http://MullerInTheMiddle.blogspot.com -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
