“Alexander fuses the secrets of Renaissance-era alchemy and the
knowledge wielded by modern archeology . . . keeps the stakes high
throughout.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Readers who favor historical mysteries as well as those who enjoy
modern forensic science will enjoy this one. Fans of Elly
Griffiths’ Ruth Galloway series will definitely want to meet Sage,
as will those who have followed Erin Hart’s Haunted Ground, also
featuring a forensic archaeologist.”
—Booklist
“In a departure from her supernatural crime novels (The Secrets of
Time and Fate), Alexander carefully constructs an intricately
plotted mystery that links story lines of madness and murder.
Bittersweet and haunting, this suspenseful story is driven by
complex, flawed characters. Fans of Kate Ellis’s ‘Wesley’ mysteries
and Elly Griffith’s atmospheric ‘Ruth Galloway’ novels will enjoy
the combination of archaeology and history.”
—Library Journal, starred review
“The mystery deepens at a nice pace, keeping me reading to find out
more and trying to guess who was behind it all . . . one of my
favorite reads of the year.”
—Criminal Element
