"A graphic portrayal of a dirty, ugly slice of life . . . Recommended for anyone seeking to know more about the drug cartels that threaten society."

"Roslund and Hellstrom accomplish what many thrillers do not do--create an intriguing main character who, despite his actions, is entirely human, and his flaws bleed onto the page."
―Cemetery Dance Magazine
"The descriptions of the drug culture and the amoral character of its various people are gripping, as are the insights into the thinking and actions of police officials and US politicians . . . The sixth and newest in the DCI Ewert Grens series, it is written with power when necessary and delicacy when appropriate; this is a novel to be savored."― Spinetingler Magazine
