“Solidly written coming-of-age tale with an endearing and believable hero.” - Kirkus, starred review
“… a whirlwind of double-crosses, illegal immigration and cover-ups…, (a) genuinely intriguing story (that) leaves no time for impatience or disengagement.” –Publisher’s Weekly
“Schwegel skillfully tightens the plot screws that force Ray Weiss to develop his own code of ethics…. she also has fun riding with the cops through the best and worst of Chicago's neighborhoods.” –New York Times
“Schwegel spins a taut and muscular tale that explores the dark side of law enforcement. The cast is convincing, the suspense is unrelenting, the result is top-flight entertainment.” –San Diego Union Tribune
“Schwegel pulls off the "what's real?" plot perfectly. That's because she builds great characters who seem honestly engaged with practices that are, to say the least, questionable. There's enough nuance and depth to make us wince and hope they wake up before the final paragraph.” –Toronto Globe and Mail |
