Editorial Review: "Superb." ---The Scotsman "Michael Gregorio's Critique of Criminal Reason is a marvelous highbrow thriller. It combines a tremendous gift for describing a place and time in history--in this case, Königsberg in the winter of 1804--with a hard-driving plot and a sense of the fledgling tools of reason fighting a desperate battle against those of violence and superstition. The indefatigable hero has the flaws of a man of his time; violence and a sometimes brutal way with his inferiors, yet there is never a point where we do not want him to win." ---C. J. Sansom, author of Dark Fire and Dissolution "[Gregorio's] re-creation of the starched world of nineteenth-century Prussia, the gothic crimes that take place, and the man trying to track down the killer, are refreshingly different and satisfyingly complex." ---Publishing News (UK) "An evocative picture of a nineteenth-century city. . . . We get a sense of the tension whipped to fever pitch by rumors of Napoleon's advancing army and the Jacobins rumored to be plotting to destabilize the city." ---Scotland on Sunday --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
