Summary
Jane Charlotte has been arrested for murder. During questioning, she tells the police that she is a member of a secret organisation.

As her story becomes more bizarre the question becomes: Is Jane lying, crazy - or playing a different game altogether?

What They're Saying
Critics Review
‘A bloody good read … a very enjoyable adventure story with a bizarre paranormal twist that will satisfy fans of such things’ Dark Side ‘If you leave this book on a train halfway, you’ll buy another copy tomorrow … Her world is superbly rendered. This is a feat of imagination, helped by its setting: one of those haunting all-American locations that are both nowhere yet on the road to places the whole world has heard of’ Daily Telegraph ‘Fast. Wicked. Scarily clever, and equally fun for those who like thrillers and those who don’t’ Neal Stephenson, bestselling author of Quicksilver and Cryptonomicon ‘Highly entertaining. It moves fast and keeps surprising you. There are also some exciting and hallucinatory action sequences that are so skillfully written I felt as if I was watching the first Matrix movie, which I unabashedly loved’ New York Times Book Review
