A terrific page-turner, superbly plotted, unforgettable characters." --Kansas City Star "Intriguing, immensely readable. . . . Engages the mind." --Washington Post Book World "The near perfect mystery. . . . Has everything a classic whodunit should. . . . Full of intricate, engrossing, flesh-and-blood suspects and heroes. . . . Unexpected curves and potholes. . . . The title says it all." --Milwaukee Sentinel "Murder, mayhem, mystery. . . . A complex and satisfying tale. . . . Compelling characters. . . .
