Engrossing – The New York Times

One of the most beguiling of current sleuths – The Sunday Times

This is classic work that will stand up 20 or 30 years from now when you (maybe) and I (almost certainly) are gone, and the problems that currently exist will still remain. Brilliantly conceived and beautifully written, THE FOURTH ASSASSIN is strongly recommended. – Bookreporter
