"A deftly crafted mystery that will leave readers curious and surprised, as well as empathetic."—Publishers Weekly“[Satterlee’s] debut places the solution to a mystery in the hands of someone whose own mind is a mystery, most of all to himself. Here's hoping [he] will give Daniel another go.”—Kirkus"Within a few pages, I fell in love with this book…an ambitious undertaking and couldn’t have been done better."—Suspense Magazine"Satterlee’s writing gifts are enormous. The author of the highly acclaimed poetry collection Burning Wyclif, he is adept at rendering Kierkegaard’s dense philosophy not only readable, but exquisite."—Mystery Scene"Because of Satterlee's skill…it seems entirely plausible and convincing…I was surprised and satisfied."—Book Pleasures
