A complex and involving thriller... --Barry Forshaw, Good Book Guide
A definite must-read. --Booklist
Luís's books reminds Defoe's irony, Swift's sarcasm, the geniality of Dickens, Wilde's verve, and the sagacity of Virginia Wolf. In the suspense literature area reminds Graham Greene and John Le Carré. --George Arion, Romanian writer
An immensely entertaining book * USA Today *
