after month on London's bestseller lists."

"There are touches of Graham Greene; Hemingway's here, too. . . .
But Sansom transfigures his sources into a moral universe very much
his own."
-The Independent (U.K.)
"Sansom [proves] real noir is best when lit with flashes of
wit."
-Publishers Weekly
"Sansom can lay claim to a place among the best distinguished of
modern historical novelists."
-P. D. James
