Trade Review"McGarrity knows his territory, so his plots always feel regionally grounded, accounting for scenes like the Apache ceremony that guides the dead 'from the Shadow World of human beings to the Real World beyond, the Land of Ever Summer.' Sheer poetry." -- Marilyn Stasio - New York Times Book Review
"A shattering conclusion to a much-praised series. Starts with a shocker. Ends with a stunner. The strength of the characters matches the power of the action scenes." -- David Morrell, New York Times best-selling author of First Blood
"Michael McGarrity is a master, and his latest mind-blower does not disappoint. I always rush to his work, then wait anxiously for another." -- Luis Alberto Urrea, author of The House of Broken Angels
"Masterful. McGarrity hones a tale sharper than a villain’s scalping knife while bringing the Southwest setting to life with every stroke." -- Dwight Holing, author of The Sorrow Hand
"Superior prose, expert plotting, and believable characters make this a standout. Fans of gritty crime novels will be rewarded." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
