“Fitzpatrick’s excellent first novel movingly captures the intensity of
first love, the corrupting forces of power, and the losses suffered by
innocent victims caught in a web of political deceit. As the lines
between villains and heroes shift, readers will be reminded how
‘right’ and ‘wrong’ choices are rarely crystal clear.”
