REVIEWS

“Fans of Knopf's Sam Aquillo series will not be disappointed by this compelling thriller in which their hero is drawn back into the secretive world of Con Globe....Narrator Richard Ferrone reins in his powerful voice to deliver a modestly restrained reading that captures Aquillo’s yearning for the simple life he has left behind. Ferrone masters his emotions, knowing when to break out in a blind rage and when to quietly allow Aquillo's inner demons to haunt his soul.”—AudioFile

“Rewarding….Knopf blends familiar elements in unusually pleasing fashion and adds plenty of original touches as well….Acquillo is a savvy operator who loves problem solving and has the tenacity of a pit bull. His penchant for intriguing predicaments bodes well for a long and successful series.”—Publishers Weekly

"Good writing, some humor, a complex mystery. If you have not met Sam Aquillo yet, this would be a good book to begin with. Or go back and read the others first and catch up. You will have a good time.”—Pop Culture Magazine

"Another clever caper in an underappreciated series starring a hard-boiled curmudgeon."—Booklist
