Review
'A stylishly written tale in the grand and gruesome tradition of Thomas Harris ... Reads like a literary version of Seven ... Working within the fairly rigid confines of the genre, Connolly has created an almost perfect crime fiction' -- Independent on Sunday '... a genuine, gripping page-turner which shreds the nerves and is certain to be one of the thrillers of 1999.' -- Mike Ripley, Crime Critic of the Daily Telegraph 'Painstaking research, superb characterisation, and an ability to tell a story that's chilling and thought provoking make this a terrific thriller' -- Mirror 'An ambitious, moral, disturbing tale with a stunning climax.' -- Marcel Berlins, The Times
