Country singer Kayleigh Towne shot to the top of the charts with her smash hit single, "Your Shadow." But sometimes fame comes at a price. An insane fan has made Kayleigh the target of his craze obsession. Soon her friends start to die in mysterious accidents that really aren't accidents at all. Now it's up to Special Agent Kathryn Dance, and her unique skills in body language analysis, to discover who the killer is, and stop him before he strikes again.

You know that part in Good Will Hunting when Robin Williams finally gets Matt Damon to realize that his childhood abuse was not his fault? Yeah, this book is kind of like that except I didn't want to sleep with the main character (which would be illegal since he is 8) and I didn't get the visual of how weird looking Matt Damon is when he cries.

What's that? You want an actual review? Well, FU. I think that's in the spirit of all the gift-giving and moral value reaffirmations that abound in this book.

Dale Cox's book Tango Trajectory is based on pure spy novel excitement in which a young female navy test pilot is pushed to the limit to become the first woman to fly Mach 7 from the secret Groom Lake Air Base in Nevada. She is met with a wave of hostility at the all male base. Her unexpected discovery on her first "spook" mission of a new terrorist enclave enrages the Wahhabi al Furan, who plot to kill her! Although Tango Trajectory is a novel, the plane, Taurora, is based on an actual Mach 7 plane first revealed to the American public by an article in the Wall Street Journal in 1992.
