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.

<i>Publishers Weekly</i> 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

<i>Australian</i>

Se alle

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.

<i>Bloomberg</i>

Cool, suspenseful, tragic, and funny as hell...I haven't had this much fun reading in a long time.

Sara Gran, author of <i>Dope</i> and <i>Come Closer</i>

A furiously paced tale that cries out to be filmed

<i>Canberra Times</i>

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
