Reviews

Praise for Blood of the Oak: "Another complexly plotted historical mystery written in a baroque style highly suggestive of the period and unblinking in its portrayal of American history's dark lessons." --Kirkus Praise for Eye of the Raven "Few writers can combine history and mystery as well as Edgar-winner Pattison ... Evocative language, tight plotting, and memorable characters make this a standout." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) "The pleasures of Eliot Pattison's books, and Eye of the Raven is another smashing example, are threefold: high adventure in perilous landscapes, a hero stubbornly seeking the truth, and the haunting mysteries of ancient cultures." --Otto Penzler, editor of The Vampire Archives Praise for Bone Rattler "Pattison's moving characters, intricate plot and masterful evocation of the time, including sensitive depictions of the effects of the European war on Native Americans, set this leagues beyond most historicals and augur well for future entries in this series." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) "[A] sure winner." --Booklist
