“I picked up this lovely paperback, drawn by its evocative cover, but with trepidation (first novel, small press). Fortunately, I was rewarded with a fabulous, well written, gripping tale. I can’t wait for more Detective Toussaint. He is a character with a back story worthy of Henning Mankel or Michael Connelly, and one feels the development is just beginning. There are in fact several interesting characters whose stories I want to know more about. The Portland locale adds a piquant layer with political and social implications, but this fine novel could be enjoyed on so many levels that that intrigue is just icing.” —Bobby Tichenor, Annie Bloom’s Books, Portland.
