Unmissable’ - Tina Massey, Carousel ‘Complex and involving, this is his [Brooks’s] best book since the wonderful Lucas, and it deserves every success’ Bookseller ‘A masterly writer, and this book would put many authors of “grown up” detective fiction to shame’ Mail on Sunday ‘A compulsive, atmospheric mystery’ Sunday Times ‘Gripping, disturbing … brilliant’ Sunday Express ‘A cracking story … grips like a vice’ Guardian
