“...I quickly was drawn into this very engaging yarn...murder mystery, treasure hunt, eastern mysticism, western greed, over-the-top characters and a mild dose of teen angst in one big package.  Donnelly knits together energy, humor, and suspense with thoughtful insights into ethics, power, alienation, and individuality.”
