Book Reviews:

"FREEDOMLAND is infinitely more than a detective story. Despite its hipness, its up-to-the-moment street jive and cops-and-robbers jargon, it aspires to the heft and weight of a 19th-century Russian classic. It has that same capacity to shake up our unexamined assumptions about sin and forgiveness."
New York Times Book Review - Francine Prose (06/07/1998)
