About the Book
“I was amazed by how tightly the book held me … The characters are genuine, three-dimensional and vulnerable.” B. Lynn Goodwin, Inscriptions Magazine
“The combining of this cast of characters by the master hand of A. J. Russo makes for one of the best mysteries I have read in a long while… Be prepared to stay up most of the night reading this book. I started it in the morning and it kept me with it until late that night. I couldn't put it down. I look forward to reading more of this up and coming mystery writer.” Judith Saul, The Best Reviews
“A.J. Russo creates a scientific possibility that hold readers riveted in The Healer. This careful interweaving of religion, science, and intrigue brings together a fascinating cast of characters. With a scientific background, Russo's style lends the novel an eerie feel of possibility. The characterizations are richly drawn with the vulnerabilities and gifts that make them human… Ethical dilemmas and moral quandaries challenge each in ways that make these complex characterizations readers will remember. A fascinating tale carefully rendered” Cindy Penn, Word Weaving
“…an action-filled puzzle that takes seemingly disparate pieces of science, theology, faith, murder, greed, duplicity and politics, and fits them into a seamless whole… the plot is intricate, carefully constructed, entertaining, and mentally stimulating. The characters are flawed, but so human that I wanted the good guys to win, but I wasn't entirely sure they were going to (in fact, I wasn't sure who the good guys were). This is a read you don't want to miss.” Patricia Lucas White, Scribes World
