“'This book will have you guessing until the last and will throw up more surprises than a good magician' South Wales Evening Post”

'Jardine manages to combine the picturesque with the thrilling and the dream-like with the coldly rational' The Times

'Jardine's plot is very cleverly constructed, every incident and every character has a justified place in the labyrinth of motives, and the final series of revelations follows logically from a surreptitious but well-placed series of clues.' Gerald Kaufman, Scotsman
