Reviews
"Stefán's stylistic finesse is as sharp as ever, and in "Black's Game" all his best authorial traits are on display. The story is masterfully written and structured, with Stefán Máni in his element; no other writer in the country knows the underworld as well as he does. The plot is fast-paced and thrilling. The character development is rich, and the characters are believable. Moreover, the author succeeds in creating situations where the reader cannot help but laugh, despite being surrounded by darkness and horror."
