This sequel to the Albino Knife was well written but wasn't a favorite of mine. I don't particularly care for the brutality of this part of the world and I had a hard time relating to these characters. Would have liked to see a bit less action and a bit more character development. (

I liked the book, but it was a little predictable. (

Epigraph

The vilest deeds like poison weeds bloom well in prison air; It is only what is good in man that wastes and withers there; Pale Anguish keeps the heavy gate and the Warder is despair.
– Oscar Wilde, “The Ballad of Reading Gaol”

Stone walls do not a prison make, nor iron bars a cage ...
– Richard Lovelace, Lucasta. To Althea: From Prison

Dedication

This book is for Dianne and for Debbie.
