Review:
“Clever plotting, plenty of unexpected twists, high-octane action, taut suspense, and a hero who is as admirable and daring as he is rude and gutsy make this compelling new installment in the Harry Corbin series a must-read” (Booklist)
"Knightly's gritty prose is sometimes marred by an awkward formality, but his second Harry Corbin novelvmoves with dark deliberation and feels authentic in every detail" (Kirkus Reviews)
“Ex-cop turned defense lawyer Knightly knows his way around New York City crime ... While Corbin lacks the sophistication of the best examples of leads in this subgenre, Knightly makes him interesting enough to sustain the reader’s attention” (Publishers Weekly)
