Written with pace, style, intelligence, teasing puzzles and lots of tension.The number I’m thinking of is 1!

Written with pace, style, intelligence, teasing puzzles and lots of tension.The number I’m thinking of is 1! * Reginald Hill *
Addictive and thoroughly engrossing … this tale will grab hold of you like a steel jaw trap * Joseph Finder *
Spectacular and mind-bending … the best thriller I’ve read in a long, long time. John Verdon’s writing is so polished, so nuanced, it makes me envious that I didn’t write this terrific novel * Tess Gerritsen *
John Verdon has written a flawless novel about flawed people and he’s written it beautifully * Nelson DeMille *
With its edge-of-the-chair suspense, memorable characters that jump off the pages, and elegant and deft writing, John Verdon’s Think of a Number is a stunning debut * Faye Kellerman *
One of the finest thrillers I’ve read in years. I devoured it. In a genre frequently and sadly known for delivering more of the same old familiar stuff, Think of a Number stands out as original and exciting * John Katzenbach *
Simply one of the best thrillers I’ve read in a lifetime of thriller reading - eloquent, heart-rending, deeply suspenseful on many levels, and relentlessly intelligent. Absolutely not to be missed! * John Lescroart *
