“The research on the
CIA is equal to the best of the genre.”
- Barcelona Review
“Kidnapping, murder,
death by
fire, snakes, alligators...this has all the elements of a first-rate
novel of adventure and intrigue. It’s a fun read.”
- Library Journal
"Largo has written
a subtle,
controlled thriller in which the horrific phantasmagoria of the South
Florida landscape act as silent witness and protagonist both.
Extraordinary terrors unfold before the reader’s eyes in a steady
crescendo, with fearful simplicity and inevitability. Cause and effect
snap shut like an alligator’s jaws, catching the reader with powerful,
clamping teeth In Largo's world the only thing scarier than the night,
is the daylight."
- Michael Browning, Columnist,
Miami Herald

“Contrasting
the color-saturated Florida atmosphere and its Darwinian
realities...Largo nails the grudging and grungy treatment accorded the
Marielitos and every slice of the Miami pie.”
- Publishers Weekly
“A comic tour de force
that is
also a haunting meditation on loss and history.”
- Publishers Weekly
