Hewson had me hooked on the first page. I enjoyed this book so much I have already ordered the next four books in the series. Extremely well written, no blind curves, and continuously written story. I would recommend this book for anyone who likes police mysteries.

Very complex story, lots of twists and turns, intricate plot. A little dark and grizzly at times for me, however. Great read anyway!

A bit different from the usual books I read. Well written, a bit scary. Great twists and overall a very good book. One I almost did not read! But happy that I did. Kathy

"Hewson's absorbing series debut features a memorable cast of fully human characters, imagines the distorted mind of a serial killer and takes a chilling glimpse into the Vatican's less-than-godly dealings with the secular world." ---Minneapolis Star Tribune

Here is Hewson's first book in an outstanding series of mysteries featuring Nic Costa, a detective with the Rome state police department. I found this detailed, sinister, and compelling mystery very hard to put down.
