Industry Reviews "In the end Mr. Connelly does concoct a sufficiently tangled web of clues for Terry, but the book's moodier side seems inflated. The title and the noir aspirations come from Raymond Chandler, but Mr. Connelly has to strain this time to find a darkness of his own." New York Times - Janet Maslin (01/25/2001)
"What should have been [Connelly's] most inspired yarn yet is perfunctory and formulaic." Entertainment Weekly - Jeff Jensen (02/09/2001)
"The strength of the characters and clarity of Connelly's vision will help most readers maintain a willing suspension of disbelief. Again, too, Los Angeles provides an ideal platform for the author's musings on good and evil, and his storytelling here is typically lean and mean." Chicago Tribune - Gary Dretzka (03/04/2001)
"[T]he parallels between that apocalyptic Dutch painter's frightening universe and Bosch's Los Angeles--a modern-day garden of unearthly delights--are drawn with horrible force." Wall Street Journal - Tom Nolan (03/04/2001)
"Thankfully, Connelly plays it low-key.... The two cases come together in a surprising--and ultimately satisfying--way." Book - Randy Michael Signor
