Reviews
This gulp-in-one-go conspiracy thriller... has some pretty scary parallels to recent events (in fact, it's written anonymously because the author based the story on real information from a protected source - oo-er!) * Sunday on Sunday, Fabulous Magazine * Eventful storytelling - Best Recent Thrillers Roundup * Barry Forshaw, Guardian * A tantalizing new thriller . . . there is great house-of-mirrors fun to be had. * The Globe and Mail * [A] suggestive thriller . . . There are lots of twists and turns, red herrings, and characters to follow . . . even when truth is stranger than fiction, this bit of fiction is satisfyingly offbeat. * Kirkus * [A] political thriller that is at once entertaining, frightening and thought-provoking * Calgary Herald *
