Nelson DeMille writes of Caldwell’s first novel: "A stunning first novel; a perfect blend of suspense and a sensitive coming of age story. If Scott Fitzgerald, Umberto Eco, and Dan Brown teamed up to write a novel, the result would be THE RULE OF FOUR. An extraordinary and brilliant accomplishment—a must read."   The New York Times raves that it is "[p]rofoundly erudite ... the ultimate puzzle book."  For more on the book, see www.theruleoffour.com.
