Media Reviews
Swierczynski steps on the gas early in this pulse-pounding contemporary thriller, the first of a trilogy, and doesn't let up...The sequel's appearance won't be too soon for many readers. * Publishers Weekly Starred Review *
A high octane, cinematic delight that uses film techniques of fast pace and quick cuts and highly visual scenes to rivet the reader to their chair. I loved it * Joe R. Lansdale *
A hip, dead smart novel, an entertaining start to what promises to be an addictive action trilogy * Australian *
Packs enough indestructible villains to satisfy a Die Hard fan, and each chapter ends on a cliffhanger...Written in deadpan sentences and funny as can be, this first installment of a projected trilogy left me greedy for more. * Bloomberg *
Cool, suspenseful, tragic, and funny as hell...I haven't had this much fun reading in a long time. * Sara Gran, author of Dope and Come Closer *
A furiously paced tale that cries out to be filmed * Canberra Times *
Reads like a Quentin Tarantino movie on speed, full of high-octane action, flying by at a breakneck pace, not for the faint of heart, but also with plenty of humor * CNN.com *
