"Readers who enjoy an espionage thriller will relish this tale. Very entertaining." --Midwest Book Review on The Flying Scotsman "Great fun." --Seattle Times/Post Intelligencer on Embassy Row "Fawcett writes rather well, capturing the period and the rhythms of period dialogue." --Indianapolis Star on Embassy Row "Unlike Sherlock Holmes's detection and deduction, Mycroft relies more on action, negotiation, and manipulation-rather like John le Carreacute;'s Smiley. The book is fun to read." --San Jose Mercury News on Embassy Row "There is something delightfully old-fashioned about conspiracies that reach down to low-level railway staff and yet remain secret. Against the Brotherhood was good fun." --Greenwich Time "The [villain's] ruthlessness is both shocking and convincing; the period details of travel, lodging, and communication are richly conveyed. Absorbing." --Publishers Weekly on Against the Brotherhood "Interesting and very cleverly done. That the main motive here is espionage makes it very interesting. Very entertaining . . . [I] look forward to reading both future and previous books." --Murder: Past Tense, journal of the Historical Mystery Appreciation Society, on The Flying Scotsman "A treat. The reader [is kept] busy guessing what will happen next." --Jackson Citizen Patriot on The Flying ScotsmanFawcett, Quinn is the author of 'Siren Song', published 2003 under ISBN 9780312869281 and ISBN 0312869282.
