Review:

"When Page Murdock shuffles the words, deal me in." --The New York Times Book Review

“A sort of homage to Heart of Darkness set in the 1880s...fine hallucinogenic writing with appeal across several genres.”--Booklist on Cape Hell

"An exciting western loaded with intrigue, suspense, and clever plot twists. One of Estleman's best, a smart, tightly wrapped story." --Publishers Weekly on The Book of Murdock

"His novels--regardless of type--are peppered with humor, irony, and melancholy, and as a narrator, Murdock delivers all three. A clever plot and a satisfying conclusion round out a very enjoyable read." --Booklist on The Book of Murdock
