Critics Review

Trouble is, like cream cakes, I want to eat them all at once * INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY *Crais writes some of the snappiest procedurals coming out of the States * EVENING STANDARD *An adrenaline rush of a novel that’s got the laconic verve of Lee Child’s thrillers and the plot surprises of Michael Connelly’s mysteries * SmartMoney *Crais once mroe proves himself to be one of the finest exponents of the genre in a gripping and complex story. * HUDDERSFIELD DAILY EXAMINER *
