“Emery does a fine job integrating Shay’s personal story with the larger Irish political issues of the period. Adrian McKinty fans will want to check this out.” — Publishers Weekly
“Set in Dublin in the 1970s during a time of unrest over the question of a united Ireland, this book should appeal to readers who appreciate atmospheric, historical mysteries. Recommended to fans of Tana French’s “Dublin Murder Squad” series.” — Library Journal
