Excellent . . . A shrewd mix of police procedural, political thriller and domestic drama * New York Times *
This might just be the thriller of the year...grips you from the opening page and never lets go, as we're pulled into a haunting whirlwind of secrets, deception and the dark side of the soul. The policing is top-notch, of course, and the characters - good and bad - are so real we're sure we've met them before. Brilliant! -- Jeffery Deaver
