"Perfect plotting wrapped inside amazing mile-a-minute suspense...does it get any better?" Lee Child "Some neat twists keep the reader guessing to the surprise kick ending" Publishers Weekly "the action never stops ...A high-velocity entry in a reliable series" Booklist "If you long for heart-stopping action and the most original characters outside of P.J. Tracy's Monkeewrench Gang, look no further" Library Journal "All the twists you'd expect from Rozan, but speeded up within an inch of their lives, just like the summer movie this yarn ought to spawn" Kirkus
