still hangs in the balance."--"Wall Street Journal"
"Captivating.... Benn does a superb job of simultaneously capturing
the personal anguish of war and creating a splendid adventure
novel."--"Library Journal," Starred Review
"Solid wartime adventure, well grounded in historical detail, and
boasting a challenging mystery to boot."--"Booklist"
"A thrilling, fast-paced book, a great yarn wonderfully told. The
mystery ploy is top notch with the 'who, ' 'why, ' and 'how'
aspects of the murders as puzzling and suspenseful as anyone could
wish...Author Benn skillfully blends the mystery of the murders and
the violence of the war into one fantastic, satisfying whole. If
you haven't already been hooked by this series, this book will do
it and have you reaching back for the previous five."--"Mystery
Scene"
Praise for the Billy Boyle series:
