Review:

""Prayers for the Assassin is Robert Ferrigno's biggest and boldest novel so far, a white-knuckle thriller that I couldn't put down. Here is Ferrigno -- gambler, prophet, illusionist, and one of our bravest storytellers -- at his spectacular best."

"Ferrigno immerses you in a dark alter-world of paranoia and intrigue in the grand tradition of "Fatherland" and "The Handmaid's Tale." Prayers for the Assassin is close-the-last-page-and-look-at-the-world-differently good."
