Most little boys love digging around in the dirt, but when seven-year-old Russell Solomon came across some old bones in his own backyard, it changed his life forever.

This book enabled me to combine the two in a way that I really think will keep the reader hooked,” Solomon says. With his next book ready for publication in early 2011, readers won’t have to wait long to be thrilled again by this amazing first-time writer. Indeed, Solomon is turning out to be one of the most intriguing authors of all the new mystery thrillers that are publishing right now.
