The Critics:

“Barbara Fradkin is a writer of stunning power and clarity. She knows that awful things can lurk in the dark corners of the human soul, and she isn't afraid to go in and find them. Enter her unique world. And don't be nervous. You're in very good, very sure hands.”
     - Peter Sellers, Author

“Fradkin raises the spectre of Second World War Nazi collaborators, Jewish war camp survivors and betrayal - a story line that sprang from her late husband Arnie's work as a War Crimes prosecutor. What she spins from that is an entertaining, darkly comedic tale well worth the price of admission.”
     - Mike Gillespie, Crime Scene, Ottawa Citizen

“Fradkin creates characters so real you can feel their body heat, and a story so emotionally charged you will find yoursel physically exhausted when you finish it.”
     - Storyteller Magazine
