I thoroughly enjoyed reading this hard-to-put down mystery. For hours, I was hooked—ever so anxious to find out how this fascinating tale would turn out. At age 12, Tony gives in to peer pressure with some friends to pull off a prank on the banks of Wolf River in southern Mississippi. He is attacked by an alligator and comes within an inch of dying. He is rescued by a neighbor, Clarissa (nicknamed the Witch, an undeserved title). Twenty years later, Tony comes back to save Clarissa from charges of murder. The author shows us how Tony, a criminal defense attorney and his associate partner, Harley, have to be very creative to get the real killer (the Wolf) to come out of hiding. The rest is yours to learn from this suspense-filled book.
