“Mills creates a great lead character in Hagarty; we root for him as he descends into a quagmire from which there may be no return. Charitable giving meets The Firm in this riveting page-turner.” Booklist
“A fast-paced, well-written, well-structured book. The motivations of the characters, both the good guys and the reprehensible madmen they’re up against, are explained, so it’s clear what’s on the line for each of them…Really good.” Midwest Book Review
“Mills’ prosaic talents are every bit as sharp and clear as his apparent visions into the future…Lords of Corruption comes at a particularly important time, and while it wisely does not attempt to promulgate any particular message, there is much food for thought —subtle and otherwise—presented here.” BookReporter.com
“A thriller in every sense of the word and is really quite interesting in its own way.” MysteriousReviews.com
