“A violent, sex-obsessed tale from prolific historical novelist Thomas Fleming. A search for the Irish American soul.”

Â
“The tension mounts to an almost unbearable rate, exploding in a physical and emotionally violent climax. Fleming carefully interweaves the strands of several parallel plots into a stunning, multilayered thriller.”

“Fleming weaves together these racial and ethnic themes which resonate in the American psyche ⦠. The reader daren't miss a paragraph.”

“Mobs, Reds, IRA mix nicely ⦠. In a mere 308 pages, Fleming packs the issues of hyphenated Americanism, the limits of family loyalty, the Vietnam War, patriotism, and corruption ⦠. The pace and the body count are more reminiscent of a Quentin Tarantino movie than of a John LeCarré novel.”
