Critics Review
‘A tense, sinuous, fast-moving debut where hard answers are given to questions of honour and justice.’
‘An urban noir masterpiece. Street-wise, with crackling prose, this is a deep, rich mystery with family at its centre. It keeps all the promises of the best crime fiction on offer.’ * Candice Fox, author of Fire with Fire *
‘A breathless follow up to one of my favourite books from last year.’ * Pip Drysdale, author of The Next Girl *
‘Once again Loraine Peck expertly blends family dynamics with organised crime to bring you a razor-sharp, compulsive page-turner that’s as much about love, marriage and parenting as it is about drugs, guns and gang violence. A powerful and very worthy follow-up to The Second Son.’ * Anna Downes, author of The Shadow House *
‘Australia’s Queen of the heist is back with a new set of twisty double crossings that had me ripping through the pages to find out how Johnny and Amy Novak were going to get away with this one.’ * Andy Muir, author of Hiding to Nothing *
‘An epic crime saga with characters who’ll steal your heart then drive a dagger through it. The Double Bind hooked me and wouldn’t let me go.’ * Tim Ayliffe, author of the The Enemy Within *
‘A dab hand at mingling psychological suspense and black comedy, Peck has produced a crime sequel as worthy of binge-reading as the original proved to be.’ * Age *
‘A sensational read.’ * Australian *
