"City of the Dead is a wonderfully atmospheric tale, bursting with colour and dark intrigue. Very highly recommended" -- Susanna Gregory
"This brilliant new series from the historical crime writer Ian Morson brings fresh life to the legend of Kublai Khan. A must for all historical buffs" -- Mike Jecks
