Very well written dark historical thriller with great twists and turns to the very end! Highly recommend.  —Susan Bratus, Amazon Review.

Hopkins’ second novel is terrific — his writing is riveting and engaging. His characters’ dialog and his descriptive writing express an impressive attention to detail and historical accuracy, and he’s not afraid to tell it like it is, which is refreshing. I’ve spent a lot of time in Washington, DC over the years, and the feeling of time and place that Hopkins creates for the “City” in 1861 is remarkable.  —Eric B, Amazon Review.

Having read his first book The Lincoln Prophesy, I was anxious to read this one. It did not disappoint. I couldn’t put it down. History and mystery. A spy novel set during the Civil War. What a great read.   —Kindle Customer, Amazon Review.

Loved the historical story. Wonderful tale of the friendship between two very unlikely men and their fight to bring an evil man to justice. Also enjoyed Carter Hopkins’ first book The Lincoln Prophecy.  —Charla Cranberry, Amazon Review.

Very enjoyable read. The author does a great job of developing a fictional story set in the middle of Washington DC during the Civil War. Interesting and well developed characters. Waiting to see more from this new author.  —Amazon Customer, Amazon Review.
