What They're Saying
Critics Review
“First-rate…. One long schuss to a satisfyingly nasty comeuppance.” –Playboy“Heywood’s second novel isn’t your run-of-the-mill Nazi-hunting twaddle…. Mr. Heywood has done a lot of research, stitching fact and fiction together with few traces of thread…. [H]e writes better than he has to. One even wonders why he doesn’t take a few more characters and write himself out of the genre entirely. This isn’t a typical thriller pitting good against evil.” –New York Times Book Review“Relentless, intricately plotted…. A sizzling thriler.” –Chicago Tribune“Feverish suspense à la The Day of the Jackal.” –Detroit Free Press“A blockbuster…. The chase … is thrilling, the conclusion stunning.” –Philadelphia Daily News
