“... a stout entry in an underserved subgenre, .... Fine’s prose is vivid, .... And even longtime crime readers should be aware that the content is ... graphic, from blunt discussions of child abuse.... Still, memorable set pieces like an airport shootout and the final fight between Eitan and Solomon stand out. Moreover, Fine’s spiritual patina and good intentions lend this dark story: a silver lining readers will appreciate.” – Blue Ink “Yehuda Fine has been a mentor/friend for almost twenty years. The Shadow Walker is a gripping harrowing piece of fiction.
