Reviews
The third thriller by Auckland, New Zealand, author McKenzie is dark and devastating, recalling the Arno River flooding of Florence that killed 101 people and destroyed an estimated 14,000 artworks and up to four million rare books. The pieces of characters’ lives are peeled back, layer by layer, revealing troubled, endangered, driven men and women. Action moves from dingy hotel to exquisite art museum and studio; plot lines take unexpected turns. Running through it all—The River, rising steadily with surges more than ten feet high, pushing 2.5 billion cubic feet of water into the city. A pulsating, breathless journey.
