Veteran narrator Lee provides the large cast of characters with an apparently endless variety of German and Serbo-Croatian speech patterns, all dramatically animated. But he takes special care to enrich Reinhardt's accented speech with an initial disinterested weariness that eventually hardens into a resolve that justice must be served.-- Publishers Weekly Audio Review An extraordinarily nuanced and compelling narrative. -- New York Journal of Books Lee comfortably jumps from German to Russian to Serbian accents and adds an overall tone that could best be described as 'Nazi noir.' -- AudioFile Set in 1943 Sarajevo, McCallin's well-wrought debut...highlights the complexities of trying to be an honest cop under a vicious, corrupt regime...intelligent diversion for WWII crime fans. -- Publishers Weekly
