"Les Cowan is daring in engaging with controversial and complex themes that are patiently rooted in the familiar and recognizable. This makes his stories not just exciting but credible and engaging. The chaotic and problematic worlds that surround David Hidalgo, inevitably caused by his ridiculous insistence on doing the right thing, give us pause for thought, if not his accidental hero." G.J. Martin, author of The Orcadian Trilogy
