"The title is perfect, the characters fully developed, the plot well-paced and gripping, but this is above all a novel about setting... This is the Dawson City of relentless gamblers, heavy drinkers, tattooed bar girls, ruthless miners, and people who've reached the end of the road and find there is nowhere left to go. The perfect setting for a novel about conflicted people and dark ambition."
