"Cal has lost much of his innocence about the quaint village of Ardnakelty, his adoptive home. He knows that evil can fester under shamrocks as abundantly as it does on city streets."
"In this finale, however, it's not so much the victims of crime who need Cal's protection but the land itself. Ardnakelty's pristine beauty is under threat from the machinations of a developer with political connections."
"French, who's already proven herself to be an exquisite nature writer on par with the likes of Norman Maclean and Annie Dillard, has the chops to render Cal's final rescue mission an epic environmental one."
