Review:

"Other writers do it well. Estleman does it best." --"The Armchair Detective" "This story vibrates with letter-perfect details, and the plot, with changing locations and changing points of view, is deftly handled. Each character, major or minor, is fresh and real, and this creates a terrific energy throughout the book, demonstrating once again why Estleman has won so many awards." --" Publishers Weekly" "Spell-binding. Just about anything Estleman writes is worth reading." -"-Reviewing the Evidence"
