SEABOURN RECOMMENDS:

FOR YOUR DOWN TIME...

The ddebut novel from writer-adventurer Ellison Cooper Coop grew out of her passions for three things: cultural cultu history, neurobiology and dogs. One would expect exp little else from an author who’s been an anthropology ant professor, a murder investigator and an a certified Wilderness K9 Search and Rescue worker. w This might seem to be a broad scope, but b Cooper’s intricate plot drives onward with precision, p page by page, as we follow FBI neuroscientist Sayer Altair on the trail of a killer who’s abducting girls and ritualistically starving them to death. Along the way, we’re treated to perspectives on ancient religion, the modern mass media and the innermost truths of human nature.
