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 *
