Michael Connelly
Classy...well-built plots...sturdy characters...out in the woods, with nothing but space between him and the sky, Smith isn't just tough. He's alive
New York Times

George Pelecanos
The superlatives keep coming for the detective duo of Lydia Chin and Bill Smith, now clearly established as one of the best PI parings in contemporary mystery fiction....superior plotting, deft characterisations, and beautiful use of setting that distinguish her series.
