“Lynch is a deeply compelling character. . . . Readers will want to see how the next two decades treat this intriguingly complex cop, should this fine crime debut launch a series.”
—BOOKLIST, STARRED REVIEW

“One of the best books we have read this year.”
—The Strand Magazine

“A perfect blend of mystery and wry humor, this terrific series just keeps getting better. Chief Lynch is an utterly original character, and Stephanie Gayle has created a world I can’t wait to return to time and again.”
—Kelly J. Ford, author of Cottonmouths
