"Swift, edgy ... What distinguishes this work is the air of slightly faded existential elegance, which sets off the modern setting splendidly ... Great for sophisticated suspense fans."

Library Journal (Starred review)
“One of the most beautiful passages in contemporary literary history … There is scandal in the family background, including an allegedly fake archaeological discovery that infects the plot like a virus. Alongside, there is romance. Boy meets girl, boy loves girl, boy loses girl, boy seeks girl … Goetz is a master … A fine novel.”
David Brussat inĀ Architecture Here and There
