“Sutton’s superior plotting, characterization, and pacing makes the pages fly . . . brings Victorian England vividly to life.
—Publishers Weekly, starred review
“First-rate Victorian crime fiction.”
—The Herald
“William Sutton’s first novel is fine, extravagant and thoroughly enjoyable . . . The action moves with dizzying speed from the highest quarters in the land to the vilest slums and low dives of the teeming city . . . We are told that William Sutton is now at work on another Campbell Lawless mystery. If he can maintain this standard of invention, this mastery of linguistic tone, he is on to a winner.”
—Allan Massie, The Scotsman
