"Former class-action attorney and Santa Barbara resident Erik O'Dowd pens a first-class mystery sprawling across generations. The intrigue begins in World War II at the Gaviota coast and wends its way like dynamite fuse through five decades until it touches a Supreme Court nominee blackmailed into silence and secrecy by a ruthless land-grabbing cabal."

-- Santa Barbara News-Press

"A very cool idea: anchor a contemporary political thriller-chiller in the very real shelling of Ellwood Beach by a Japanese submarine back in 1941. The story revolves around political ambition, family secrets, and accusations of treason."

-- Nick Welsh, "What Writers Read," Santa Barbara Independent
