From a reader review:
"Neil Plakcy's The Burning Water is ripped from todays headlines - even though he began writing it five years ago. As with everything Plakcy writes, included with the mystery, suspense and death, there is a welcome dose of history. The historical details are is so cleverly inserted that, until you finish reading his books, you don't realize what an expert history lesson you've just received."
