“The fourth Fargo adventure is the best of the series so far. Danger abounds, of course, but its the characters who sell the story. Sami and Remi Fargo, the husband and wife treasure hunters and globe-trotting adventurers, are likable and gutsy. The story moves at a brisk clip, leaping from location to location, with an assortment of colorful villains. This is one his fans wont want to miss.”—Booklist
