"Fast paced and tension ratcheting, Kevin Helmold's, ECHOES OF TORMENT is a page-turner sure to satisfy even the most fickle suspense junkie!"

Deborah LeBlanc, author of A House Divided


"Like a house on fire, retired Chicago fireman Carl Braun's life really heats up when he moves his family to Las Vegas… a minefield of Russian mobsters, shifty card sharks, and a sultry woman intent on making him forget his marriage vows. Cut the cards and pull up a seat at Helmold's poker table.  I guarantee you're in for one fiery read."
