“Nous Nous is both a suspenseful story about a kidnapping and an incisive meditation on what it means to be held hostage...With striking...empathy, Vanderslice presents the minds and hearts of complex characters united, and reunited, by tragedy.”--@michael_kardos, author of Bluff https://t.co/U334yqXFX0

Praise for Bluff:

"Michael Kardos is a master at ratcheting up the suspense, and Bluff combines poker, a brilliant con game, and two terrific women who run the show. If you haven't read Kardos yet, Bluff is the perfect place to start!"-Lisa Scottoline, bestselling author of Exposed
"Terrific writing, great characters, an insider's knowledge, and a killer plot with a leg-breaker of a twist. What are you waiting for? Buy this book."-Peter Blauner, author of Proving Ground and Slow Motion Riot
