A terrific thriller from one of our finest crime writers at the top of his game.
First in a new series, this is a tense and twisty tale.
A brutal, kinetic thrill ride.
a roaring, full-throated thriller
Beckett is an expert in doling out information in the right-sized snippets and at the right intervals to keep the tension high.
It's a cleverly plotted, page-turner of a thriller. *BOOK OF THE MONTH*
