Reviews

"Gripping from start to finish. Neville's economical yet nuanced prose style drives the plot forward at breakneck speed while building complex characters with the deftness that defines a thriller writer at the top of his game" Sunday Independent "Deftly plotted, fast paced and the denouement packs a real punch" -- Laura Wilson Guardian "This pacey, exciting thriller is Neville's best yet" Sunday Mirror "Crisply written and fast-moving, the novel has a brutal honesty that confirms Neville's place in the first division of crime writers" Spectator "Crime fiction doesn't get much better" -- Lee Child
