Empire of Shadows

Praise forSuspension: "Few authors have been able to match [Caleb] Carr's knack for combining modern pacing and plot twists with the scholarship and research needed to bring an earlier age to life. A notable exception is Richard E. Crabbe...One hell of a fine yarn."--The San Francisco Chronicle "[Crabbe] pulls back from the criminal mind to offer panoramic views of the consequences of history. Suspension may not be as breathtaking as the Brooklyn Bridge, but Crabbe knows how to demolish all resistance."--The Los Angeles Times "First novelist Crabbe is a thoughtful writer...Comparisons to The Alienist are well-earned."--Library Journal "Crabbe debuts with a cunningly imagined historical fiction...[A] richly atmospheric thriller."--Publishers WeeklyCrabbe, Richard Edward is the author of 'Empire of Shadows', published 2005 under ISBN 9780312336103 and ISBN 0312336101.
