Trade Review
"The most wonderfully idiotic love song to swashbucklers ever set to Korngold trumpets. Fraser again proves himself a master." —New York Times "An unfathomable delight." —New Yorker "Fabulous . . . You'll want to stay up all night reading this one." —Washington Post"It's all there, right down to a Dead Man's Chest, cleavages that are everything they should be and characters in sea-boots who say nothing but 'Arr!' and 'Me hearty!' in a plot that is wonderfully absurd." —Financial Times "Fraser can easily juggle Conan Doyle and Holmes, Fleming and Bond, Wodehouse and Wooster, and Chandler and Marlowe." —Vanity Fair
