Reviews

"With just enough exposition of previous events, this can be read as a stand-alone title, although it is much more satisfying to read after the first two. This is a must-read for continuing the series."
Voya, Sharon A Martin.
"Yet again Hartley has successfully intertwined an intricate mystery with weighty cultural and political considerations that truly echo the times in which we live."
