'Abdoh's Iran is a place where the question isn't if one has been complicit, but rather the extent of one's complicity.'

'New history and a fresh take on the same old dirty tricks result in a clever and compelling tale.' 'Abdoh's restraint with the brutality in present-day Iran in no way tamps down the adrenalin that keeps his characters in action.Goodness and mercy eventually carry the day, within limits, and this relatively new author may already have potential readers looking forward to his next novel.' an unpretentious, cross-cultural political thriller that rings true in the way only a skillfully crafted novel can.'
