"Benn continues to create fascinating behind-the-scenes mysteries from little-known facets of World War II history…. A solid series that keeps getting better."—Booklist

"Deftly keeps our hero’s wide-eyed verve as he tackles a more complex plot that takes the series further from whodunit toward thriller."—Kirkus Reviews

"A twisting, turning plot drives Benn’s gripping fourth WWII mystery to feature Lt. Billy Boyle . . . As an Irish-American whose family is sympathetic to the Republican cause, Billy struggles to remain impartial as he investigates the various factions on both sides of the Catholic-Protestant divide. Benn offers no easy answers in this rich mix of Irish history and wartime intrigue."—Publishers Weekly
