The Black Box

The Black Box by Cliff Jackman (novella):"Cliff Jackman draws readers deep inside The Black Box, into an intriguing mystery in which a Toronto teenager deemed to have committed suicide is instead a possible homicide victim whose love for comic books and a Russian prostitute lead into a murky world of forgery, deception and murder... Jackman breathes life into his characters, making you feel as if you truly know them... The author is a major literary find whose debut book, Deeper, a collection of short stories, fascinated readers and drew comparisons with Stephen King ... with The Black Box, Jackman proves he is also a master of the novella, with a story that is both instantly captivating and enthralling."- Michael B.
