“A love letter to a colorful but terrifying past and an exciting story from cover to cover... This is sheer fun.” —Richmond Times-Dispatch

“Vivid, riveting, and surprisingly poignant.” —Pages

“So compelling, so detailed and vivid, that I couldn’t bear to be torn away from it for a single minute.” —Chicago Tribune
