Critics Review
Expertly crafted– The Times
Exceptional … Absorbing … Fiona’s narrative sears the pages. - Kirkus Reviews
Very exciting … well informed and well written. Read this novel. - Literary ReviewBingham’s novels always contain something unexpected. This fast-moving novel contains some of the most ingenious murder methods in modern crime fiction. - The Sunday TimesGritty, compelling … a [police] procedural unlike any other you are likely to read this year. - USA TodayWith Detective Constable Fiona ‘Fi’ Griffiths, Harry Bingham … finds a sweet spot in crime fiction … think Stieg Larsson’s Lisbeth Salander … Denise Mina’s ‘Paddy’ Mehan [or] Lee Child’s Jack Reacher … The writing is terrific. - Boston GlobeFiona Griffiths may be the most fascinating protagonist in fiction. She is similar to Lisbeth Salander, an intelligent but profoundly damaged young woman, but Fiona is less hostile and more curious, sort of a good guy sociopath. I couldn’t put it down. This is definitely one of my very favorite thriller series. I love this character and I hope I have the chance to read many more. Harry Bingham is a genius and one hell of a writer. - Audrey, Top 500 ReviewerA stunner with precision plotting, an unusual setting, and a deeply complex protagonist … We have the welcome promise of more books to come. - The Seattle TimesA dark delight, and I look forward to Fiona’s future struggles with criminals, her demons and the mysteries of her past. - Washington PostAbout The Author

I’m Harry Bingham. I write crime novels and love it. When I’m not doing that, I run the Writers’ Workshop, a literary consultancy. I live in Oxfordshire, England, but I spent a lot of my childhood in Wales, where my crime novels are set. Things I love apart from writing: wild swimming, rock-climbing, walking and dogs. I’m married, have four kids, and I love my life.
