A writer who mixes venerated clue-chasing techniques with . . . political dynamite.” —Hartford Courant
“Law draws a sympathetic, even tender study of a self-centered but essentially decent soul in the kind of torment that isn’t the least poetic.” —The New York Times on The Lost Diaries of Iris Weed
“Law powerfully evokes . . . uneasiness and rising tension, all in a narrative style sometimes verging on the poetic but always suspenseful.” —Kirkus Reviews on The Night Bus
“Law does a bangup job of recreating London during the Blitz and portraying real-life artist Francis Bacon as an unlikely sleuth.” —Publishers Weekly on Fires of London
“Artist-sleuth Francis, unflappable and acidly witty, is the star of [Janice Law’s] latest nimble historical mystery series. . . . Law’s crisp, wry humor, surreptitious revelations of France’s deep partisan wounds, and great affection for the marvelously resourceful, suave, and irreverent Francis make for a delectably clever tale.” —Booklist
“Law is close to perfect in presenting the timeless charms of the Riviera, and she’s just as satisfying in shaping Bacon as a reluctant but brave and somewhat lucky sleuth. At the same time, she never allows us to lose sight of Bacon as an emerging artist of immense gifts.” —Toronto Star
