The Trail of the Serpent is thoroughly engaging--vintage storytelling with more than a touch of sly wit. --Sue Grafton <br> Why have we been deprived of this treat for a hundred years? The Trail of the Serpent is a cracking good read, addictively ingenious, electrically energetic, engagingly entertaining, and above all fun ! --Reginald Hill <br> The Trail of the Serpent is immensely vivid, sweeping you along with its character and vitality. --Anne Perry
