According to the New York Times: “…top notch… Gage smoothly expands his focus on the assassination of an ambitious bishop to encompass the controversial and entirely absorbing issue of whether the clergy should involve themselves in the politics of land distribution among the poor.” According to the Florida Sun Sentinel: “Leighton Gage achieves both a powerful political thriller and gripping crime fiction in his fascinating debut…Gage proves himself a true storyteller.” According to Library Journal (starred review): “a gripping and brutal tale of murder and vengeance. Highly recommended.” (Starred Review) According to Booklist: “Gage’s emotionally-charged debut…vividly evokes a country of political corruption, startling economic disparity, and relentless crime, both random and premeditated.” According to Kirkus Reviews: “Gage’s debut…creates a contemporary tapestry of Brazil (and) builds a compelling foundation for future Silva cases.” According to Mysterious Reviews: “A terrific mystery, a strongly written and powerful novel that will be remembered long after the final pages are read”
