Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Chicago journalist Graff (Cold Lessons) takes a less-than-imaginative look at a dystopian near-future America in his second novel, a thriller. An unnamed George W. Bush is still president in what is in effect his third term; a series of terrorist attacks, somewhat improbably, has led to the suspension of much of the Constitution, including presidential elections. When Homeland Security agents arrest freelance photographer Jason Walker because he's been taking pictures of prominent Chicago buildings, Walker manages to convince his captors of his innocence. The naïve Walker agrees to use his Lebanese heritage to infiltrate a local Mideastern cultural center, but does so clumsily. The plot thickens after some Lebanese-Americans with uncertain motives recruit Walker as a double agent. While many thoughtful observers have wondered whether the war on terror will cost the U.S. its soul, Graff barely scratches the surface of the challenging ideas his intriguing conceit presents. (Nov.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Graff Gives Good Chase
Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2008
Graff is able to capture the anxiety of a man on the run and the suspense and paranoia that are becoming more a part of American culture. It's not hard to imagine seeing Jason Walker on the EL in Chicago scrambling to plot out his next move. A great sophomore effort for Graff who's last book, Cold Lessons, was written under a pen name.

5.0 out of 5 stars wow what a writer
Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2007
wow - what a writer! Keir Graff's 2nd novel (his first appeared under the pseudonym Michael McCulloch) truly highlights his talents as a creative and innovative fresh face on the literary scene. His book is suspenseful, positively political, and extremely well versed in the English language - a rare talent these days. A definite must-read for anyone interested in how the creative literary sprirts in this country processed 9/11.
