""". . . Olson's novel is a deftly understated cross-genre tale. The author orchestrates the various subplots and the dual time periods to great effect, amping up the narrative with an unwavering pace. . . While the ending illuminates much of what's unfolded, plenty remains for readers to interpret on their own. Dynamic characters headline a riveting story of lost souls and the inescapable past.""-Kirkus Reviews"
