“Connelly knows crime, cops and criminals…Plan ahead before you read this buzz-saw of a novel…Once you start, you will finish.”
— Booklist
“A writer with a superior talent for storytelling.”
— Publishers Weekly
“It’s a terrific yarn, extending the boundaries of the police procedural in the ingenuity of the plot and the creation of a character.”
— Los Angeles Times
“Connelly’s Bosch could partner with John Sanford’s Lucas Davenport. As fictional heroes, these ‘90’s tough guys are a joy.”
— Kansas City Star
