Sinister and riveting . . . Peter James is one of the best British crime writers, and therefore one of the best in the world - Lee Child, bestselling author of the Jack Reacher novels
Peter James is one of the best crime writers in the business - Karin Slaughter, author of the Will Trent series, including After That Night
A typically clever and convoluted central mystery - Daily Mirror on Left You Dead
