Is he a pathological con artist or is she? You won t see the final, terrifying twist spinning your way until the very last mile.

You ll enjoy the journey and all its macabre side trips. You ll love the travel commentary written in Heaberlin s lean, muscular prose. . . . Signposts along the way warn of angst, secrets and deadly plot twists, but you ll never see what s coming. You ll step out of this fictional vehicle feeling like you ve been T-boned by an 18-wheeler. The Washington Post
A rich hybrid work that s at once a zany, dialogue-propelled two-hander, a murder mystery, a road novel, a pair of psychological case studies and a meditation on photography. It would make a fine indie movie, although screen adaptation would entail sacrificing Heaberlin s evocative prose. The Sunday Times (UK), Thriller of the Month
I kept thinking of [Patricia] Highsmith while reading Paper Ghosts. . . . Heaberlin anchors her books with troubled but endearingly badass women. . . . Like Highsmith, Heaberlin displays a keen grasp of casual cruelty that defines human interaction, not to mention a flair for stories in which no one least of all the protagonist can be trusted. . . . Texas has yet again bred a major American noir writer. D Magazine
[An] artful and elegiac psychological thriller . . . Heaberlin brilliantly combines travelogue with a heartbreaking portrait of the damage done by childhood. . . . [She] wields words like weapons, with each one chosen to heighten tension, underscore emotion, or foreshadow doom. Publishers Weekly (starred review)
