“[The Mary Russell series is] the most sustained feat of
imagination in mystery fiction today.”—Lee Child

sightseeing, the gibes at fascism, and the heroine’s climactic
masquerade as silent film star Harold Lloyd.”—Kirkus Reviews
“[Laurie R.] King’s storytelling is always a pleasure, full of lush
details and clever twists. Cole Porter, who is an integral part of
the book’s LGBTQ story line, adds an unexpected and welcome star
turn.”—Booklist

installments in this popular series.”—Publishers Weekly
