"A woman gets in touch with her inner action hero in this bracing thriller... as one character toasts, 'Bravo, Callie James.'" —Kirkus Reviews"His skill as a writer is obvious and there's a level of polish present in these pages you don't find with less experienced authors... Danger in Plain Sight sets the stage well for Burt Weissbourd to have an impressive run with this character and he will undoubtedly attract a growing audience with each new additional entry in the series." —Hollywood Digest"One of the most accomplished elements of this highly entertaining novel is the way that the action hinges on the emotional and interpersonal arc of the story rather than the plot twists themselves... it's Callie's relationships with the central figures, particularly Cash... that give the story its realistic and heart-stopping impact." —Readers' Favorite"Weissbourd delivers a polished page-turner about terrorism, money laundering, and the price of sins rooted in avarice...Tart dialogue, explosive set pieces and a dexterous narrative style that favors velocity over exposition add to the book's appeal...Thrillers may be a dime a dozen but memorable characters deserve a longer half-life, so here's hoping Callie and Cash make a welcome return soon." —BlueInk Review"An inventive thriller whose unconventional heroine learns how to live again." —Foreword Clarion Review
