Steeped in a rank air of cynicism and fear … this complex and atmospheric thriller will find many fans’ Independent. * Independent *‘Reading like Saw would if it had been a book… macabre murder mystery.’ Shortlist. * Shortlist *‘Liable to live on in your dreams’ John Williams, Mail on Sunday. * Mail on Sunday *An outrageously believable police detective’ Peter Millar, The Times. * The Times *“Atmospheric and piquant period detail saturate the pages… Krajewski’s lacerating narrative performs the key function of the skilful novelist: providing an entrée into a world far from our own’ Barry Forshaw, The Times. * The Times *
