He eases us into the seemingly tame world of white-collar crime, then raises the stakes, bringing the action to its peak with an intensity and violence that's stomach-churning. His Ava Lee is a winner and a welcome addition to the world of strong female avengers.--Lesley McAllister "NOW Toronto "<br><br>Readers will never meet another forensic accountant like Lee... if only jet-setting around the world were as effortless as [she] makes it appear to be.--JoAnn Alberstat "Chronicle Herald "<br><br>The fifth Ava Lee novel is a winner on all fronts... The pacing is furious yet sneaky: You're hooked before you realize it. The novel is driven by characterizations, action and multiple settings. Ian Hamilton's textured voice allows the action to convey the emotional focus and his story-telling puts you at the centre of the conflict. The poignant conclusion adds yet another dimension to this multi-layered story. The series is addictive.--Don Graves "Hamilton Spectator "<br><br>Those new to [Ava Lee's] world will find the book easily accessible... with their tight plotting and crackerjack heroine, Hamilton's novels are the sort of crowd-pleasing, narrative-focused fiction we find all too rarely in this country.--Robert J. Wiersema "Quill & Quire "<br>
