How can you resist a book with an opening line like this:

"The Rutherford girl had been missing for eight days when Larry Ott returned home and found a monster waiting in his house."

There's a reason why Franklin is being compared to Elmore Leonard and Cormac McCarthy -- this man knows how to write a sentences that pull you further and further into the heart of the story until you're not sure you want it all to end.
