Devious, diabolical and devilish … It’s Dance’s toughest case, and one of Deaver’s best books. - New York Times

With a game of cat and mouse that is full of twists and turns, expect family and friends to queue up to borrow this one - Candis

Excellent … plenty of surprises and red herrings - Publishers Weekly, starred review

Written with Deaver’s usual keen eye for dialogue and character and featuring his customary right-angle plot twists, the novel will be a sure-fire hit … This may be the most compelling of the Dance books. - Booklist

The most creative, skilled and intriguing thriller writer in the world … [Deaver] has produced a stunning series of bestsellers with unique characterisation, intelligent characters, beguiling plots and double-barrelled and sometimes triple-barrelled solutions. - Daily Telegraph

The pace is terrific, the suspense inexorable, and there is an excellent climax … If you want thrills, Deaver is your man. - Guardian

Jeffery Deaver is grand master of the ticking-clock thriller. - Kathy Reichs

The danger for thriller writers is that they become so comfortable with their detectives, Dance, Rhymes, Sachs and Co, that new readers feel excluded. Deaver always avoids this, though, elegantly reprising their back stories for newcomers without boring the faithful. ***** - Daily Express
