Second Tom Hickey novel is nearly as exciting as Kuhlken's first prize-winning story. A solid entry in an original vein! ( )

From Mystery News: "Mysticism, a journal full of poetic folklore, and the noir-like dialog push an especially complex plot from start to finish. Along with Gaylord Dold and Max Allan Collins, Kuhlken joins the ranks of P.I. authors presenting their character in a historical setting and pulling the deed off with skill and grace. Highly recommended."
