“The story truly excels with its engaging, nonstop pursuit of the truth…
Genuinely intriguing whodunit... A fun and compelling thriller…
The taut, well-conceived plot unravels and reforms with twisty surprises and elements of politics, revenge, and Machiavellian villainy.”
Kirkus Reviews
“Ingenious. A jigsaw puzzle in book form. A love story, a political potboiler, and a thriller that upends expectations with every turn of the page. It carried me from heartbreaking opening to the razor edge of its ending in one sitting. My foot is already tapping as I wait impatiently for a third installment!”
James Rollins, #1 NY Times bestselling author
