Reviews

• Stunning. A Chinatown for the 21st century Charles Cumming, NY Times bestselling author of THE TRINITY SIX
• City of Sins starts with a tsunami and ends with a hurricane, and nothing in between slows it down. A smart, scary, and relentless storm overtaking a city held hostage by greed and disaster." Andrew Gross, NYTimes bestselling author
• Daniel Blake makes New Orleans the setting for a story that's as hot, steamy and shot through with voodoo madness as the city itself. Highly recommended!" Tom Cain, author of THE ACCIDENT MAN and DICTATOR
